LEGO bricks, not the building materials.
It must be intentional that the word Lego appears nowhere on this site, surely?
Or worried about Lego suing them?

#12I’d like to see some quantitative review of how well the scan works. Their demo almost looks too good to be true - it seems they even have overlapping pieces, etc. A quick search showed a YouTube review where they said there were quite a few false positives.

#15What's next? Finding a needle in a haystack? This is pretty neat and I would definitely play with it, but I'm not willing to front that kind of cash on something that might be terrible. It seems like the ideas are all user submitted -- I was expecting something ML here, like imaginary builds of cars. Cool nonetheless but there's a lot of untapped opportunity. My first thought was that this would be very useful for pa…

I’m working on a jigsaw puzzle and hit a bit of a dry spell and was hoping there might be an app that could help find the pieces in a pile and where they go. Nothing exists yet that I could see.

#18Good, looks like outsourcing the core creativity and imagination.
Next make a robot, which pointless builds those objects.

#19Is there any free functionality aside from the time-based trial? It looks like this is $45/year (or $84/year if paid monthly!), which seems pretty steep.
It’s a drop in the bucket for LEGO enthusiasts who spend hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars a year on legos.

Lol. No, they buy new builds with microtransactions and then watch it build them.
