http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2012/08/wirelesscommunication.jpg It’s hard to believe, but Sifteo’s interactive gaming Cubes first went on sale just over a year ago. Fast forward to the present, and the company has unveiled version two of the the MIT-born blocks. If you’ll recall, the 1.7-inch squares can be loaded with table-top style games, each featuring a 1.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, motion sensing and wireless connectivity. With this next-gen variant, Sifteo has increased the screen resolution of each unit and doubled the amount of Cubes that can be used at once to 12. The V2 Cubes also come packed with a dedicated, wireless base station with a built in speaker, sparing the need for a computer to play (the case with the originals).

You’ll find more details in video demo and press release after the break.
