Google and Lego launch Build with Chrome to build Lego in the browser

The Build with Chrome page created by Lego and Google is now available in the browser Chrome to build directly with the Lego pieces. They can also be shared on the Google social network and explore other creations made on the page. It works in Firefox so I don't rule out that it also does it in more browsers.

Build with Chrome It includes interactive functionalities how to rotate the board, choose the colors and shapes of the blocks and many more facilities to build the most sophisticated creations. It also includes a section of Academy dedicated to offer training and help to handle it with ease. In my opinion it seems a quick response to a phenomenon that we have not talked much about in Peques y Más and that is called Minecraft.

The experiment launched it Google in Australia in 2012 and now they release it so we can all use it. It is a game that Develop imagination and creativity And as the video indicates, the challenge is to jump from the real world of Lego with its bricks that allow you to build almost anything and do it in a virtual world, with many possibilities, and with the ability to share with other creators.

The technology used by the browser is WebGL, a JavaScript application that allows you to represent 3D graphics No need for additional applications. For example, on the computer from which I write this article I don't have Flash installed and it works great on Google and Firefox.

As indicated in Inevery Crea, once finished the creations can be positioned on the map and classified as buildings, characters or transports. It is convenient to take a look at the creations made and that surely will not stop growing. It can also be a good exercise to know if children are surprised by building games and encourages them to develop their creative ability, spatial vision, imagination And they are also encouraged to share it with their friends.
