Description
Issue 78 of Blocks, the LEGO magazine for fans, visits the Creative Play Lab – the wacky ideas part of the LEGO Group. It’s the department that came up with VIDIYO – and three of its top design experts exclusively reveal how they came up with this unique augmented reality theme.
All prices include delivery.
That’s not the only way that the LEGO brand is embracing new technology though – the powerful Unity game engine has released a free-to-use tutorial that shows anyone how to build a LEGO video game. Find out everything you need to know to get started with the experts behind the experience.
Artificial intelligence is helping to do good for people with vision impairments, as the LEGO Group’s audio and braille instructions allow more people to build LEGO sets. The whole project started with a low-tech solution though, as Matthew Shifrin explains in an extended conversation.
Blockstalgia goes back to a fascinating Space subtheme and takes a look at UFO, taking a classic model from the theme and reimagining it with modern pieces and techniques. The Review section is packed with the latest releases, including Technic, Star Wars, Friends, NINJAGO – and our hot take on VIDIYO.
