Frantz Lasorne, a student at L’École de Design in France, has invented an ingenious way to breathe new life into old toys. Lasorne’s Scope display automatically recognizes ordinary toys that have been mounted onto platforms covered with hexagonal patterns. Viewed through the augmented reality display, these patterns become interactive buttons and can be used to make virtual modifications to the toy. As the video below shows, a Lego person can, for instance, be instantly armed with a giant virtual bazooka. Via MIT Technology Review
