Lego augmented reality boxes are being rolled out to Lego Stores around the world so you’ll soon be able to see what all those little bricks will build before you bust open the box. Click through to see the Lego augmented reality boxes in action.
The Lego augmented reality boxes created by the Danish toy company and augmented reality experts Metaio work with kiosks in Lego Stores. Hold up the box and a QR code activates a 3D model of the the Lego kit inside.
We’ve seen serious augmented reality apps like Recognizr which scans strangers faces but the Lego augmented reality boxes are a little more fun.
If the Lego kit inside builds a model that moves, the Lego augmented reality boxes will show an animated 3D model, like the merry-go-round shown in the video.
There are Lego shops lurking in Bluewater Shopping Centre, Brighton and Milton Keynes, so expect to see Lego augmented reality boxes hitting their shelves soon.
And if you don’t want to play with Lego in the real world, you could always take a trip to Lego Universe.
