    That’s really good. Years ago I actually presented a very similar (but not so advanced) concept to Lego, who were looking at ideas for getting into the electronic age. I was looking at blocks that could link together physically, but since they contained wireless could also link logically to build simple functional networks. I’m sure I still have the presentation somewhere - it seemed too good an idea to lose.

    Really nice. I’ve also seen some similar ideas around, but not as well developed. Reminds me a bit of a highly abstracted concept of sensory interfaces from the RCA, see:
