![]() ![]() ![]() It is definitely not possible to recreate any scenes from the movie other than Carl in his armchair but without the ever-poignant empty Ellie armchair next to him. The larger problem is that the rear of the house is so small and cramped that the details cannot be enjoyed and it is almost impossible to manoeuvre Dug, Carl or Russel into any of the rooms. It is great that this element has been so beautifully rendered, and printed rather than stickered. The dream of heading to Paradise Falls is a main theme in the movie, and it is the place that Carl and Russel eventually go to when the house takes off, powered by helium balloons. However, they have to break into their savings multiple times for more urgent issues. Unable to have a family, their focus changes and they begin saving money in glass jars to go to a place called Paradise Falls. The movie includes a series of flashbacks to Carl meeting his wife Ellie, getting married, trying for a baby and sadly suffering a miscarriage. The front has the label Paradise Falls while the back has some dollar coins - this cleverly gives the impression of a glass jar filled with coins when viewed from the front. This post by Jeremy Horwitz originally appeared on VentureBeat.As well as the minifigures, there is one other new printed element of note Minifigure Head with Paradise Falls and Money print in Trans Clear (6422742). iOS and Android apps are planned to hit the App Store and Google Play for free at the same time. The Hidden Side sets will hit stores around the world in late summer. Kids will also be able to play several small games inside the Hidden Side app without using building sets. The Lego Group says Hidden Side will be the first time it introduces a play theme as a service, with promises to keep adding new challenges, ghosts, and randomized gameplay to the app to keep it fresh. After showing a prototype on stage with impressive but largely cosmetic interactions between a Lego set and an iOS app, the company released Lego Ninjago AR playsets as “early experiments” to see how AR could enhance physical play. Lego Hidden Side builds on the Lego AR Playgrounds initiative announced at Apple’s 2018 WWDC. We’re breaking the mold of gaming-first AR play experiences to create a new type of play where the physical world actually influences the AR layer, instead of the other way around.” “At our core we focus on tactile building,” explained Lego SVP Tom Donaldson, “but AR presents opportunities to enhance physical LEGO play with new action and mastery elements. The AR app will prompt kids to discover new parts of the real-world models, and change the AR experience as kids physically manipulate the sets. ![]() Lego’s free Hidden Side app lets kids choose between one of two characters to explore the sets from a first-person perspective, using Android or iOS devices to discover and capture the virtual ghosts. In physical form, the models will be seen as they appear by day, while the AR app will show them infested with ghosts at night. But the Lego Group announced an intriguing new initiative today: a collection of eight “haunted” building sets that can be enjoyed by themselves, or paired with a new AR app that adds spooky virtual elements to explore.Īll set in the town of Newbury, the Lego Hidden Side sets will range in price from $20 to $130, with models including a bus, graveyard, and schoolhouse. Though Apple and Google both improved their augmented reality tools for developers last year, AR didn’t have a particularly strong 2018, as consumers largely shrugged off new AR apps and hardware. ![]()
