Maglives: Magnetic Bloc Toys for Composing Human and Animal Figures that could Take Various Poses and Have Movable Joints.

Abstract

The prototypes of fossil-looks magnet blocks were created. It was designed for constructing living things like animals. To give them an ability to construct lively living things, we needed to change the basic concept of magnetic blocks. Then, we created toys that can make a action without a direct touch of hands. You can see the action of them on Youtube or Facebook of Maglives.
You can put them many postures by arranging their parts. So we wrote a story about Maglives to have players to be interested in them. You can read it at http://magnetlives.blogspot.jp .
