philetus writes "newscientist.com has a story on Posey, a hub-and-strut construction kit that senses its configuration and communicates it wirelessly to a computer. From the article:

'If you gave Lego brains, you might get something like Posey, a new hands-on way of interacting with computers developed at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, US. When Posey's plastic pieces are snapped together, an exact copy of the construction appears on a computer screen. Every twist of, say, a stick figure's arm is mirrored in 3D modelling software.'
(full disclosure: I am a researcher involved with the project)"
