MAKE_Conference_Badge-CESFor the upcoming MAKE Volume 33, David Merrill contributed an article called Going Pro, about how makers are turning hand-soldered prototypes into real consumer electronics. He’s here in the Gaming Showcase section at CES showing off Sifteo Cubes, an interactive gaming platform that uses small cubes with embedded sensors and LCD screens. As the co-founder of Sifteo, he’s helped bring this unique gaming platform from prototype to product. Now he’s a part of the community that helps other makers who are looking to make the same leap. Check out the video above for my quick interview with David and look out for his article in MAKE Volume 33.

One Response to MAKE at CES 2013: Sifteo Cubes

  1. I can’t wait to get my hands on a set of these! It’s the perfect platform for a maze game I’ve had on the back burner for a while. It’s encouraging to see someone get their idea off the ground.
