Overview The Unifi Dice are sophisticated electronic devices that transmit their orientation every time they change orientation, are moved , or detect the presence of a magnetic field . The dice are supplied as either a single die (with a choice of Red, White, or Black) or in a set of three, in a custom case that doubles as an automatic on/off switch.
Important Notice The Unifi Dice utilize Lithium Polymer (LiPo) Batteries. LiPo Batteries are the latest in battery technology, enabling much higher capacity in a significantly reduced footprint. LiPo technology is used extensively in cellphones, wearable devices, and smartwatches. If LiPo batteries become fully discharged, the battery becomes permanently damaged and will no longer charge.

Switching On/Off To turn the dice on, simply remove the dice from the carry case, and they will power up automatically. To turn the dice off, place them in the carry case with the three (3) pip side facing down and the four (4) pip side facing up.
Charging The dice are wirelessly charged, using a technology called “Qi-Charging” (pronounced “chi”). The charging coil is located on the side with three pips on the die and should be placed directly on the gold circle, as indicated below: • Place the die with the three (3) pips facing down on the die image of the charger. •...

System Architecture It is beneficial to understand how the Unifi platform works – once you have a solid understanding of the system architecture, you will be able to develop your own unprecedented, mind-blowing routines. The Dice, Dominoes, Poker Chips, Second Sight, Magneto, ColorSense, and Pen Sense all transmit on the “Industrial, Scientific &...
Thumper The Thumper receives messages from Dice, Dominoes, Poker Chips, Pen Sense, ColorSense, Magneto, and Second Sight. The Thumper will vibrate to indicate the result of the dice roll. To keep the vibrate sequences manageable, Unifi has adopted the vibrate sequences detailed below (regardless of whether the notification is triggered from a change in orientation, movement, or magnetic field).
Adjusting Vibrator Settings The Thumper has an integrated vibrator that discreetly communicates signals to the performer. The Unifi devices transmit their signals multiple times, just in case there is interference that prevents the Thumper from receiving the message. Every event is uniquely coded, which prevents duplicate signals from being processed by the Thumper.

Time Period between vibrates The “Time Period between Vibrates” is the time between successive vibrate signals. The time period is the gap between one vibrate sequence finishing and the next (repeated) vibrate sequence commencing. Vibrate Length The “Vibrate Length” allows you to adjust the amount of time the Thumper will vibrate. The longer the vibrate sequence is, the easier it is to feel, but at the expense of speed.
Notifier Notifier receives messages from Dice, Dominos, Poker Chips, Pen Sense, Color Sense, Magneto, and Second Sight. The most recent notification is displayed on the screen. For example, if the spectator rolls a Red dice with a result of three, then this will be displayed on the screen. If you then use Second Sight to scan an RFID playing card, this result will override the display.
System Messages Whenever an Unifi device powers up or powers down, it sends a notification message to Notifier. This includes the device type, its serial number, and battery status and enables you to test your devices in advance of your gig quickly. When the dice turn on, they transmit the following information to the Notifiers: •...
Low Battery Notifications Should the battery level fall below 20% for any Unifi device, then Notifier will display the device description, followed by the message “Low Battery.” Page 21...
Unifi App Status Screen The Status Screen displays an icon of the device on the left-hand side, indicating the device type and configuration so that you can visually see the result. Adjacent to the icon is a text description of the status, with the first line detailing the result and the second line indicating the description.
Registered Mode Unifi may operate in registered or unregistered mode. Operating in registered mode is advantageous if you are performing at a venue with multiple performers using Unifi as it prevents “cross-talk” between other users of Unifi products. Every Unifi device contains a unique Electronic Serial Number (ESN); this allows individual devices to be registered with your equipment and ignore transmissions from Unifi devices that are not yours.

To register a dice with Unifi, take the dice out of its enclosure, and it will automatically turn on. Alternatively, you may turn the dice on by applying and then removing a magnetic field. The dice will appear in the unregistered dice section, and you will need to tap on the unregistered device to register it.
Tapping on the device will take you into the customization mode for the dice, where you may assign a custom URL to each outcome. To unregister a die from your Unifi App, tap on the “Unregister Die” button at the base of the screen.
