The partnership between Metaio and one of the largest toy manufacturers in the world is a truly  major milestone in the history of the company.

Kudos to Metaio for a great splash at the onset of the AR year.

    My two favorate things combined!
    Brillent :P

    Actualy, it wouldnt take that much for them to expand this concept and even have AR instructions.
    They already use an official Lego-cad system to make those manuals, just supply a carboard marker and people could see it assembled like a AR slideshow.

    My husband travels to get a living. More times than he would care to count, his company has booked him into a hotel which does not offer cable Television. Last year, even though surfing the web, he came across a site the allows him to Watch FlashForward Online. Now he has a thing to do on those nights when he is bored. This makes me incredibly happy as there have been nights when he would go out looking for something to perform. He would regularly spend additional out around the town than he had made that day. His job is to bring money in, not spend a lot more than he makes.
