So have you guys/gals heard of the new Lego 'Hidden Side Sets' that are immently to be released? I'm usually on the pulse but these seem to have slipped by me as its the first I've heard of them.
Fundamentally you get a fairly normal Lego set, but it then ties into an AR (that Augmented Reality as opposed to VR - Virtual Relaity) app for your phone or tablet that allows the kids (I mean adults would never play with these things right?
) to point the device at the built model and it will then be brought to life on the app and allow the kids to interact with the AR version of the Lego model. I guess this is a sort of spin-off/enhancement of the screens found in the lego stores that allow you to show it one of the product boxes off the shelf to be presented with a video about the product/set.
Anyway I should be immenently reviewing this set; LEGO Hidden Side 70424 Ghost Train Express Construction Set so I'll let you know what I think of it when I receive it!
