Project Lego X - when plastic Legos turn into digital ones

Lego

Lego bricks have long outgrown the notion of a toy, and the Lego X project by the London studio Gravity is new proof that they can serve for much more than "just" to distract children cleverly. Namely, they developed hardware that allows a computer to track the position of individual cubes and thus simultaneously create a digital copy of the physical model.

Lego X studios Gravity opens up new dimensions of Lego bricks that go all the way to engineering lines and 3D printing. Namely, they give the computer the ability to scan what is happening in the real world and redrawing the dice into the digital world. But where the range of options does not end, as the program also offers to save the formation in a format that is readable by 3D printers and print a copy of the physical model in any size.
