LEGO and Sony in search of the toy of the future

LEGO, which works with Sony, is surprising enough to be talked about.

It is as part of Sony's research program (Sony Computer Science Laboratories) in Tokyo that the two manufacturers join forces to develop the toys of the future.

There are motorized LEGO toys equipped with mini-cameras, controlled from a Sony Playstation controller.

One member of the Sony research team mentions that LEGO is losing potential young customers to video games and is taking it very seriously. The idea of ​​this project is to keep a relatively small LEGO toy while incorporating a certain dose of interactivity.

This project is still at the experimental stage and there is no question of commercialization yet. Some issues like the very short battery life will need to be addressed first.
