    the number of usecases that are covered by the app seem very small to me. it mainly adresses the following situation: i need one particular part, where is it? if you need multiples of a part, then you would likely need to open one bag for each part. this almost immediately disqualifies it for even a semi serious bricklink store as well as for semi serious builders.

    So cool. Next upgrade is a cellar for the bag storage and a servant to fetch them as required. Like the British Library for lego. 😂

    This has so much potential. I will test it.
    If you like your parts sorted in drawers, look at this as a pre sort solution. You catalogue in bags, you see all the sets you could build, you build the wanted set and when disassembling it, you sort the parts properly. At least for me, this sounds like more fun.
    In addition, you could add your draws to the database as well.
    And imagine, you have all the bigger parts sorted but a bunch of small parts and just using this app for them.
    One trick for the bags, just put a clothes pin onto it like a register, so you'll see the number on top and not have to get the whole bag out of the box to see the number.

      You're right it's a tricky task.
      Currently we recognize very rough color palette (that was explicit product design decision), but we know how to improve that and recognize more colors if there will be a demand for that.

    • @dimosscratch2797
      @dimosscratch2797 16 днів тому

      @@nw62 It is in part a color calibration problem, but one that I would not underestimate. I would argue that also humans are not able to determine the correct color from a photo. Many Lego colors can only be distinguished by rotating a given piece and observing the light reflections (see e.g. metallic, chrome or transparent colors). After all, there are about 200 different Lego colors (see bricklink). Just a few days ago I struggled distinguishing dark bluish gray and flat silver 1 x 2 grille pieces until I held them at a particular angle against a light source. In my opinion, creating a system that can determine Lego colors reliably would require at a minimum a light tunnel with constant light conditions and a mechanism to allow imaging of a piece from different directions, either by using multiple cameras or a vibration system that would change the orientation of a given piece. I don't see a way this can be achieved by an image recognition app that uses a single image as input.

  • @TheCrisses
    @TheCrisses Місяць тому +1

    I think in some ways all the hyper sorting of parts limits creativity. So keeping a bin of random bits (think serious play window bags, etc.) actually is helpful for creativity. So where the majority of a collection might be all organized, having a bin of randomness to just PLAY with Lego is also important. This type of catalogue would help “know” what's in the “random stuff” part of the collection.
    So say I'm making a mockup with odd colors from my random bits collection… that activity is creative, and figuring out what works and creates the forms I'm looking for. Once I have that worked out from the bits & bobs, I can go seek out the specific colors I want from the sorted bits.
    2 different brain activities. When inspired, it's hard to keep switching tasks back & forth to logical/organized brain and back again. Spend time creating, then rebuild it with the exact parts/colors wanted for the finished build.
    Many people end up using software to do the first mockup because similar reasons…they have an idea, the software puts all the shapes kinda at their fingertips.
    But the bin of misc parts is a different creativity exercise, much more spacial and opportunistic creativity.

    This is a really great system. The only problem is that, especially for bigger and custom builds, you have to manually remove each piece you use from your digital collection which takes a ton of time so I don’t think it would be worth it for that reason.

    • @diatonicdelirium1743
      @diatonicdelirium1743 Місяць тому

      Agreed, it will work for the unsorted bin with 'leftover' pieces, but it can never replace a sorted (large) collection.
      The way to sort Lego is also very dependent to context: small sets don't need to be sorted (this app can confirm all pieces are there!), larger sets can get away with primitive sorting (color, piece size, etc.) and non-set related needs proper organization.

  • @IWASRANSOMED
    @IWASRANSOMED Місяць тому

    That’s really helpful! I think I’d still go ahead and separate my pieces, to make it easier to keep track of which ones are still available. Otherwise you have to go back into the app and mark each one as being used.

  • @Kinegos
    @Kinegos Місяць тому

    I have probably 100-150 lbs of unsorted bulk lego and this may just be the ticket. Although, part of me feels that the time spent doing handfuls at a time, taking the picture, validating the scans etc. might still make it time consuming enough to make actually sorting them not much worse. will be interesting to test it at some point. Are you able to add new scans to existing bags?

    Thanks for this i knew it was only a matter of time before someone made an AI for lego collactions... Which before I just used Samasung AI on my Galaxey S23/24 ultra smart phones to just scan random sets and prices in my collection to get what they are and see them on bricklink... Which I was going to do what this app does eith Samsung AI but it would have been a hasle... Also I would think your collection needs to be in the shot and clearly visible to the AI so pretty much spread out in aa losse single layer on a table/floor ideally with a background that makes the pieces stick out... Also you would need a good enough photo which if your phone still gets updates it should be fine... Also in theory you could use any photo so if you see someone using a piice you don't know the name of pr if you watch a MOC instructions video that does nothave a bricklink olist this should be perfect for that!

    I think this is a very cool app, which I doubt I will ever use for two reasons. One, for a large collection, we're talking about hundreds of little baggies with 100-200 pieces each. Which poses storage and retrieval issues once you reach such large bag numbers. Two, dependency issues. As in once I were to set up my LEGO into baggies of randomly (not) sorted bricks, I would then be completely unable to find any specific brick without the use of the app. This degree of app dependency is not desirable.

    Very impressive, but the bags will pile up. To make a build, you'll need to fetch the parts needed from your existing bags. Should you take that apart later on, you'll have to scan all the parts again and sort them into additional bags. Frankly the drawers will look more organized than boxes and boxes of loose bricks in Zip-loc bags.
