Here’s a LEGO concept from the guys at Wonder Years, called BrainBricks, essentially intelligent LEGO bricks that include tiny sensors, which enable the bricks to sense their configuration with one another and communicate it wirelessly to mobile devices loaded with the LEGO gaming app, in turn allowing physical LEGO models to be instantly brought into a digital gaming experience.
And while I’m not sure how realistic this is for LEGO at this point in time, it’s almost certainly got to be in their R&D pipeline. We’ve seen similar things from Disney already, and I’d expect a big push into digital convergence gaming over the next 12 months… Would love your thoughts!
Love this concept and it’s definitely exciting to think that this kind of concept could be coming to gaming soon.
This is cool! I can just imagine how hooked kids and adults alike will be, as soon as they’ve tried this Lego Brain Bricks. Transporting the brick creation you manually made into digital image is already awesome. Getting to tweak on your creation and being able to play with it in a digital game is way beyond exciting. Great idea! This will start a new trend in gaming and I am already curious as to how other companies will follow through.
