Digital Bricks are a way to envision a 3-dimensional shape display. Initially, there is a cube made of many smaller cubic bricks. Bricks can be individually activated to latch on to their neighbors; the latching mechanism can also push bricks out from the larger cube. As the bricks are activated, unneeded bricks fall to the sides. This could perhaps be paired with Transform so that once the base bricks are identified, Transform would elevate the base bricks so that all unneeded bricks would fall away, leaving the desired shape. Transform is limited because it cannot create complex shapes or shapes with bases that are are narrower than their highest point. Digital Bricks is shape display to model more complex objects. The user would also be able to interact with the shape; peeling bricks away or adding more bricks would update the corresponding digital model.
