šŸ“ŒLego’s smart bricks explained: what they do and what they don’t
Lego introduced Smart Bricks as part of its new Smart Play system — tiny tech-filled 2Ɨ4 bricks that can react with lights, sound, motion, and other pieces to create interactive play experiences for kids. These bricks include sensors and a miniature speaker to generate effects in real time rather than using pre-recorded clips.
šŸ”¹ What they do
Communicate with each other and with Smart Tags and Smart Minifigures to trigger lights and sounds based on how they’re arranged and moved.
• Charge wirelessly on a dedicated pad and contain batteries designed to last for years.
• Use a proprietary encrypted protocol for privacy and have no internet connection.
šŸ”¹ What they don’t do
They don’t record sound or video — the microphone only detects sound levels.
• They don’t rely on companion apps or screens.
• They don’t use AI, despite the technology inside.
šŸ“Œ Why it matters
These bricks add physical interactivity without screens or internet access, easing privacy concerns while blending classic building with responsive technology.
