## Description

## 🚀 Overview<br><br>**CubeEye** is an advanced Android application designed to solve 3x3 Rubik&#39;s Cubes. It leverages computer vision to scan a physical cube and provides an interactive, animated 3D guide to solve it using near-optimal moves.<br><br>## ✨ Key Features<br><br>### 📷 Smart Scanning System<br><br>* **Real-time Color Detection:** Automatically identifies cube face colors using the camera via the custom `ColorAnalyzer`.<br>* **Guided Scanning:** An intuitive UI overlay guides users through the process of capturing all 6 faces correctly.<br>* **Validation Logic:** The built-in `CubeValidator` ensures the scanned state is physically solvable before proceeding.<br>* **Manual Correction:** Includes a `ColorPickerDialog` allowing users to manually adjust colors if lighting conditions affect automatic detection.<br><br>### 🧩 Intelligent Solver<br><br>* **Kociemba Algorithm:** Integrates the famous Two-Phase Algorithm (via the *min2phase* library) to find near-optimal solutions, often requiring fewer than 20 moves.<br>* **Fast Local Computation:** Solves complex scrambles in seconds directly on the device without needing a network connection.<br><br>### 🎥 Interactive 3D Guide<br><br>* **3D Visualization:** Features a fully interactive 3D render (`Cube3DView`) that accurately mimics the real cube&#39;s state.<br>* **Step-by-Step Animation:** Users can play, pause, and scrub through the solution moves at their own pace.<br><br>## 🛠 Technical Highlights<br><br>* **Modern Android Stack:** Built entirely using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose (Material 3).<br>* **Robust Architecture:** Follows Clean Architecture principles, utilizing MVVM patterns, Hilt for dependency injection, and Coroutines for asynchronous operations.<br>* **CameraX:** Implements a stable and efficient camera foundation for live preview and image analysis.<br>* **SceneView:** Utilizes the SceneView library for high-performance 3D rendering.<br><br>## 🐛 Known Issues / TODOs<br><br>* Optimize color detection thresholds to better handle extreme lighting conditions.<br>* Automate the integration of the &quot;min2phase&quot; library (currently included as manual source files).
