If you don't know, I have been on a quest of revolutionizing smart cube technologies in hope to make them cheap and accessible to the majority of the cubing community.
Here are the attempts:
But, they all turned out to be a bust for different reasons. I don't think I can come up with any new externally-placed-sensor smartcube ideas.
BUT.
A totally different new idea came into my mind. After a long discussion with @Lelouch , a forum member who has experience in neural networks(i.e. machine learning), I am excited to show our progress so far!
Rough Draft:
It uses 5 flex sensors positioned on the fingers to capture the user's finger movements(flexing angles). These data will be sent back to a phone or a computer via bluetooth for further processing. Here is where the magic happens: a pre-trained neural network will analyze these data and determine the specific fingertricks being performed, and thus achieving the goal of anycube becoming a smartcube!
Some more progress has already been made, but I want to release them to you guys later after both of us had an agreement. If you are interested in this project, please post your thoughts below!
