Lego Fusion

[ysabetwordsmith]

Lego has introduced three toy sets which interface between physical and virtual play.  Faaaaaascinating. The idea is to build something with bricks, then transfer that into a manipulable model in cyberspace.  This has terrific potential for architects, scientists, and other folks who often transport their imagination from one layer of reality to another.  I'm sure folks will figure out some practical applications for this after fooling around with it for a little while.  In the meantime, it's awesome fun.

Yeah, we had different kinds of corners and insets on the Robie House, and never did really settle on precise names for them.

Is there a slope that is a match to minifig height? The ones used for printed wizard robes or gown bottoms is a bit 'too tall'.
