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.

Repeat: Perform a U2 flick to move on to the next case and you'll be able to quickly practice all of your algorithms.
