Project Darwin
From Brickipedia, the LEGO Wiki
Project Darwin was a project intended to create a complete library of digital LEGO bricks. The bricks would then be used to create games, movies, and other virtual LEGO products. One focus of the project was to create a virtual building system in which the user built models using motion detection systems. Another was a movie making system in which an actor wore a suit and had their motion translated onto a screen as a minifigure.
