Lego Life of George
Lego Life of George (stylized as LEGO Life of George) was a Lego theme that for the first time, combined standard Lego bricks with a mobile app (for iOS and Android). The theme was first introduced in October 2011. It was eventually discontinued by the end of December 2013. Overview
Lego Life of George was the first Lego product line designed to provide an experience that combines both physical and digital play. This has been described by The Lego Group as "fluid play". Users built their own 2D models as fast as possible and scanned them by using an app named Life of George. The product line included Life of George toy sets that contained 144 pieces of Lego bricks, a play mat and an app. The toy sets were marketed at children aged 8+ or above. Development
Lego Life of George was developed by EyeCue, an Israeli technology company. The patented brick recognition technology was invented by Ronen Horovitz, CEO and founder of EyeCue. Head of the New Business Group at Lego, Paal Smith-Meyer explained, "For some the main driver was to see how can the digital really inspire kids to build more and play more physically," and continued, "So we're looking at this kind of play loop where you create something and then use it in a digital space and that play would then inspire you to go back, physically, and play more.”

According to Bricklink, The Lego Group released a total of two Lego sets as part of the Lego Life of George theme. The product line was eventually discontinued by the end of 2013.
