I love the physical-digital mix that is the trend today. Nice idea. :-)
(even though it wouldn’t work for me, I love being only digital)

How about 2D codes on each lego piece, with color and size encoded?
Once they are fixed, your image is easier to decode, and less error-prone.

I’m aware that you can do without, but easyness and reliability are nice to have…

We also have a clock that doesn’t tell us the time but how much time is left. For example: now the time is 15.15 and the bus leaves at 16.00, makes no sense for some people. But the “quarter-clock” will tell you that it is 3 quarters left until your bus leaves. You make something as abstract as time much more concrete.

I love this idea. Particularly, because it will help me stay within my hours “budget.” I can keep track of my hours fine with traditional methods, but at the start of a project I’m allotted a certain number of hours and I have trouble staying within that. I think I might count bricks out at the beginning of a project, make sure not to reuse them in my timekeeping, and keep an “hours left” base to montior how much time I have remaining to use on the project.

Thanks so much for sharing your idea.

Add some Lego Mindstorms to this and you could robotically enhance your project. It also works with the Java programming language.
