Kible – Omnidirectional Snapping Building Block System Launches on Kickstarter

Kible Is Bringing its Mobile Design App and Building Block Purchasing
Platform to Consumers

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kible
announced today the launch of its crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter.
Born from the desire to empower users with the ability to design,
purchase and build custom snapping block models, Kible combines an
intuitive mobile app that allows users to design and model 3D block
creations from their iOS and Android devices, with the ability to
purchase the physical snapping blocks and build their creations in real
life. Backer rewards range from early access to the app, a 25-piece set
for $10 to a 1,250 piece set for $200.

“As a lifelong snapping block and model building enthusiast, I designed
Kible to be a combination of everything I enjoy most about building
blocks, and everything I love about the creative processes and
flexibility of digital design,” said Jason Brain, creator of Kible.
“Technologically and culturally, we live in a very different world than
the mid-20th century in which Lego was conceived. Kible is a snapping
block toy for the 21st century, natively combining the digital with the
physical.”

Built by master builders for anyone with an idea to build, Kible boasts
the following features:

• Fully 3D Building System – Kible is a patent pending, universal
  snapping block system in which pieces can be built out in all six
  cubic face directions (up, down, left, right, front, and back) without
  creating any dead-ends or impasses to the builder. No magnets or
  additional components are required. Kible pieces are based on an 8 mm
  cubic grid.
• Mobile Modeling App – Developed for iOS and Android devices,
  adults and children alike can use the Kible app to design their own
  original snapping block models. Even on smaller devices, the Kible app
  is simple to use with a few familiar gestures.
• Social & Collaborative Experience – Using the app, builders
  can work on projects individually, together as a group and share
  designs with the official Kible community. The app also includes
  augmented reality tools to share fun photos and videos of one’s models
  via any social media channel.
• On Demand Purchasing – No matter how simple or intricate, users
  can purchase all the pieces that were used to create their model in
  the app. The pieces are then shipped to the user, and the mobile app
  registers those pieces in their personal “Kiblemporium” inventory.
• Interactive Instructions – Every Kible model design remembers
  its digital modeling history, which then serves as step-by-step
  interactive instructions when physically constructing the model with
  Kible pieces.
• Gender Neutral – Kible has been designed to be an equally
  enjoyable experience for girls and boys. Both the product and
  marketing will avoid gender segregated combative and homemaking
  narratives often found in toys today.

“We’ve created Kible to be enjoyed as a standalone mobile creative
modeling tool, or a standalone physical snapping block system, but
ultimately they are two modes of the same handheld experience,” said
Brain. “We have completely redesigned the snapping block to allow
builders to explore uninhibited creative ideas, and physically build
their designs with a novel omnidirectional snapping system just as they
experience within the app.”
