Mister Blocks

There are a bunch of scattered building blocks at home – I wonder what else you could build with them? Mister Blocks allows you to lay them out and take a photo. The AI will identify every single block, even those that are covered and thus not fully visible, and then generate construction suggestions based solely on the blocks you have available.

Each solution comes with a 3D step-by-step guide that allows users to rotate and disassemble the components in order to understand their structure. The system will attempt to select models that can actually be assembled securely, and it is also capable of identifying and correcting any parts that cannot be properly fitted together. Another way to use this tool is to simply tell the AI what you want to build—for example, “an antique car that has traveled back from the future”—and let it generate a set of assembly instructions for you.

The learning barrier is very low, making it suitable for parents who want to use building blocks with their children. The accuracy of recognition is greatly affected by the quality of the photos taken; the wider the pieces are spread out and the better the lighting conditions, the more reliable the results will be.
