This sticker mod uses only two colours, yet the number of positions on the cubes is not smaller then on a regular 6-colour cube.
(actually for cubes of odd order the cubes show 128 (= 4^4/2) times more positions than a regular cube since four identical centers out of six have to be oriented.)
The design works on all order cubes: 2x2x2, 3x3x3, 4x4x4, 5x5x5, 6x6x6, 7x7x7,...
The picture above is showing the 2x2x2 the 3x3x3 and the 4x4x4 I stickered this way.
Below the scheme for a 3x3x3 is given.

Walter Randelshofer made a
virtual version of 3x3x3 Tangram cube and a
virtual 4x4x4 Tangram cube.
I recommend this stickering especially for people that bought the ILLusion and are now bored with it. Only four of the ILLusion faces need to be stickered to make it a real challenge. The gif file below can be used with "
Cube Twister" the excellent Program by Werner and Walter Randelshofer to simulate a Tangram stickered Illusion.
Ah, and of course a lot of different patterns can be arranged, hence the name.
