NewsCube

The NewsCube is an interactive, 3D storytelling tool that uses a cube to show multiple perspectives on a complex issue. The sides of a NewsCube can be used to hold original or aggregated content in the form of text, images, sounds, vision or documents.

Usage

Use the code to create a virtual cube, make it rotaate and add content to it.
