This is worth sharing, it's only the third time I've been excited by an application for augmented reality (AR).
Like the other two applications (goggles for emergency services and the Xbox Kinect), the Lego AR kiosk satisfies three main criteria: it serves a purpose, is low on fiddle factor and the AR application operates with minimal lag.
Many other applications fall over on one or all of these hurdles. I find most phone-based AR like Layar slow to initialise, laggy and fiddly to use.
AR applications for desktop tend to lack purpose and have some fiddle involved in setting up a webcam.
The Lego AR kiosk is a great idea and we could see similar kiosks appearing in shops around the world.
