Lego sets are getting a major upgrade, taking play to the next level

LEGO reveals its Smart Play system, which uses a Brick, Tag, and Minifig system to bring greater interactivity to its sets.

Lego's brainy brick makes an X-Wing sound like an X-Wing, and no app is needed to fly it

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.
