LEGOS I'd Totally Go For
I'm not as clever as I use to be and I blame age. When I was a kid LEGOS were a cinch. I would assemble all the pieces together just like the picture on the box with ease. Now that I'm 27 LEGOS seem like an engineering feat to me. It feels like work with little fun. Designer Jin Woo Han decided to change that with his Electric LEGOS.
He envisages a kit where interactive dioramas could be created simply by arranging and plugging in pieces onto a powered circuit board that looks like an ordinary LEGO piece. He uses the Simpsons as an example. Each piece contains clever but simple robotic components. If you place Homer and Marge on the board, they receive power thru the board, detect each other's presence and begin to interact. Throw Bart into the mix and the conversation totally changes. Pop in a TV set and things change again. You can imagine the endless possibilities with this kind of setup.
More pictures after the jump.

Legos, alive? Yikes is alls I have to say. what is this world coming to. I love the Simpsons though so that part of it is charming but as far as making legos interactive, that kind of takes some of the imagination out if, doesn't it?
