This prototype Z-agon cubic video display device has six screens on each face of a small cube. Rather like Jerry Cornelius's electric guitar with six pickups, it's hard to see what half of them could be useful for at any given moment. But to say this is to miss the point, which is its refulgent coolness.
Promising to wirelessly receive videomail, television and other fancy digital content, the interesting bit is the "tangible" interface. The box will, according to creators KEIO Media, respond to physical actions such as turning it around. Or, maybe, rolling it.
The display resolution doesn't look too hot on the PR shots, though there is a subtle and enticing thread of geekiness in the very notion of LCD dice: programming every face to say, "You are hit for 300 damage by an intriguing digital trinket. You die." seems apt.
