to use the cube solver, make sure you have access to the webcam and javascript is enabled
also, it will work best on desktop
steps to use the program
- wait for model to load (displayed at the top of the page)
- position the cube so one side is facing the camera
- above the webcam video, you should see the colors of the stickers on the left
- if the colors match the cube, press SPACE to save it (the colors don't match?)
-
save the rest of the faces IN THIS ORDER: (rotations can be written as y y y x x2)
- turn 90° clockwise about the y axis
- turn 90° clockwise about the y axis
- turn 90° clockwise about the y axis
- turn 90° clockwise about the x axis
- turn 180° about the x axis
- if this is confusing, copy what that animation below does
HOW TO SCAN IN THE CUBE
The left side of the cube (in this rendering) faces the camera, so the faces would be scanned in this order:
- Blue
- Red
- Green
- Orange
- White
- Yellow
This order is only if the Blue side is shown first; any color can be shown as long as the rotations remain the same.
- once you have scanned in all 6 faces, a 3D rendering will display below
- if the rendering matches your cube, click the 'solve' button
-
hold your cube so the first face you scanned in is facing you, and solve your cube
according to the notation
my colors are not being read properly?
there are many reasons for why the colors are not being read properly:
- you have unorthodox sticker colors
- you are in weird lighting
- etc.
if this is the case, click to start updating the colors
when prompted to enter each color, show the face with that color in the center (red face = face with red center) and press SPACE
after entering each color, your colors should be calibrated!
the program stopped scanning faces?
this can sometimes happen, just refresh the page and it should work again
