The LEGO Group has introduced LEGO SMART Play, a revolutionary platform that brings LEGO creations to life with responsive bricks, minifigures and tags, all without screens.
LEGO reveals its Smart Play system, which uses a Brick, Tag, and Minifig system to bring greater interactivity to its sets.
The Smart Brick looks very similar to a normal 2x4 Lego brick, but it contains a custom Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chip which is smaller than one of the studs on the brick itself. It’s joined by an accelerometer and a copper coil, and Lego has created its own Play Engine and Neighbor Position Measurement (NPM) system.
Lego’s new Smart Brick launched at CES, adding light, sound, and sensors to classic sets—without screens—starting with Star Wars.
