LEGO Goes Hi-Tech with Smart Bricks
Ad 728×90
LEGO might've been the last bastion of popular analog toys. Alas, even they couldn't fight off technology forever.
The company has announced their new Smart Bricks, which are no longer a monolithic piece of ABS. Instead they each contain a chip, an accelerometer, sensors for sound and light, LEDs, and even a miniature speaker.
The user charges the bricks wirelessly, using a dedicated pad from LEGO, and they'll be rolled out within new Star Wars LEGO sets. As for "Why," the bricks are part of LEGO's new Smart Play system.
