A built‑in accelerometer allows the bricks to sense movement, meaning they can react when tilted, shaken or repositioned. According to Lego, this opens the door to dynamic play, with blocks capable of producing audio cues, lighting effects, and even subtle gestures.
The company says every smart minifigure behaves differently, offering its own set of sounds, moods and reactions – all channelled through the smart brick itself. Lego engineers achieved this level of complexity by eliminating traditional wiring and instead relying on inductive charging coils similar to those found in smartphones and electric toothbrushes. These coils also allow the bricks to detect one another, forming what Lego describes as a brand‑new positioning system built entirely from scratch.
Lego is calling the Smart Play System its most transformative innovation since the introduction of the minifigure in 1978.
