^ I definitely see that!

BTW, it seems that these can be used for much more than just toys.  I can imagine using something like this for about every design oriented application imaginable.  From architecture/engineering to mechanics and even interiors.  Each "block" could be a reprogrammable component that allows you to visually and physically manipulate materials, equipment, textures, colors.... its endless.

The more intuitive we make computers the better learning and working tools they will become.
