You probably all have seen this, right? Amazing.

They took our Jobs Smile

Looks nice, but it feels somewhat sluggish to me, also very little parts unless I'm missing something.

Is this pure a (chrome) demo or are they aiming to create an ldd replacement ?

AFAIK it is a project with GOOGLE, that there can be created a map with LEGO replicas of real buildings...
Somewhere I've read that only 30 parts and 10 colours are available for this purpose...

what I like about this application is how you select the parts to add to the model.

instead of a lengthy list control to scroll
or a complicated tree view
or a grid wasting too much space,
they simply put a "pile of bricks" there to choose from.

maybe this is a mode our tools could also offer...?

we should take that idea as an inspiration IMHO.

A collaborative town project on a large scale might be the eventual outcome of this project. I don't think computer hardware are fast enough yet, so it may be a while until we see it.
