It seems like Google Inc. is trying to get LEGO lovers fired from their jobs as Google has teamed up with LEGO to bring those beloved colorful bricks to the web via a new Build with Chrome application. It's also Google's attempt to show off their Chrome's capabilities. Build with LEGO is the latest fun experiment from the Chrome team.
The website is fun to use, but creating a model takes as much time as it takes in real life. It gives users a blank LEGO space along with a selection of virtual bricks, pieces and necessary tools that can be used to build pretty much whatever you can come up with.
You’re never too old to play with LEGO
The interesting part is, the LEGO playground also supports Google+ network and you can sign in to your Google+ to view your network’s LEGO creations, share them publicly and geo-tag them to a real location in the world. Logging into the tool with Google+ is also required in order to view what the world have put together on Google Maps.
If you’re not ready to actually build anything yet, you can see what others’ creations. There’s also the Build Academy which uses a set of challenges to help you become a master builder.
If you want to use your fingers instead of a mouse, you can use the Chrome for Android browser on your smartphone or tablet which possesses high-end graphics capabilities and support for WebGL.
Check out the promo video below and then head on over to buildwithchrome.com when you are ready to go.
