I recently downloaded Weathercube for iOS, and was pleasantly surprised by its UI.

As a primarily UIKit (2d, simple interface) iOS developer, I'm not quite sure how to go about creating a similar interface.

I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me how to create a UI that consists of a grid of tiles (e.g. 2x3, like Weathercube), that perform a 3D rotation, giving the appearance of multiple cube-faces per tile.

NOTE: I'm only interested in mimicking this part of the interface, and not the rest of the cube-feel that links ViewControllers as a 3D interface.

Here's an example from the Weathercube app, where a tap on a tile causes it to rotate between either a weather symbol or a corresponding description (i.e. 2 cube faces):

  • How so? The question you're referring to wishes to create a single cube in a 3D space, whereas I'm looking for a pseudo-3D cube based on a 2D tile-grid. – Sarreph Apr 29 '13 at 23:26
