What is A-Cube

A-Cube (Short for Arta-Cube) was bilt as an interactive Art / Tech / Communication project for my girlfriend and I while we are in a long distance relationship. A-Cube was initially designed as a one-way display cube where I could send messages to get displayed remotely at my girlfriends dorm across the country. The initial problem with this idea was the fact that her University has 802.1x for wifi, and I have no easy way to remotely authenticate and connect to WiFi. Eventually A-Cube became a 2-way communication cube.
