LEGO® Vidiyo
LEGO® VIDIYO was a theme in which physical sets “came to life” through Augmented Reality: children could use the app to create their own music videos with their LEGO® figures and builds. The concept was developed in collaboration with Universal Music Group, with music and effects forming part of the experience.
The BeatBoxes were the foundation of many releases: compact, collectible cubes containing a rockstar minifigure and 16 BeatBits (effect tiles) that could be scanned in the app to add video effects. There were also larger “Stages”, designed both as more extensive building sets and as scenery/backdrops for your videos.
Good to know: LEGO® states that the LEGO® VIDIYO app is no longer supported after January 24. The physical LEGO® VIDIYO products were also discontinued at the end of January 2022 (according to an official statement shared by LEGO and republished by several LEGO news sites). As a result, LEGO® VIDIYO is now mainly of interest as a collectible theme: colorful, different from the usual offerings, and recognizable by its minifigures and BeatBits.
