Cube-Vision is a speedcubing timer that records and reconstructs your solves using a vision algorithm, providing stats and splits while you practice with your main. Cube-Vision is completely free. No sign in, no ads, and all videos stay on your device unless you choose to share them. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Follow the scramble given and start inspection. Tap and hold the screen to start the timer, or simply place your hands face down as if starting a competition timer. Cube-Vision watches your hands starts the timer when you take your hands off the table. 2. Solve the cube! The front facing camera records your solve. 3. Review: Once the moves have been extracted from the video Cube-Vision compiles a solve breakdown with per stage move counts and TPS. ALGORITHM TRAINER 1. Select and algorithm set and press start training. 2. You will be shown a case on the screen. Solve that case on your own cube. Each of your moves will be played onto the displayed cube until it is solved. 3. View your stats. Compare your most recent performance to your average performance for that case with recognition time, execution time, and TPS. 4. Repeat: Perform a U2 flick to move on to the next case and you'll be able to quickly practice all of your algorithms.
