Lego has unveiled new high-tech “smart bricks” it says will bring its classic toys to life with lights, sound and interactive movement. But one expert on early learning says the innovation may lessen the potential for imagination that makes Lego a good toy for children’s development.

The new brick will make play more interactive for kids and families. Sets with the new brick will release in March, and preorders start in January.

The new sensor-packed Smart Play Brick will land this spring as part of a special Star Wars collection. The update adds interactive lights and sound to the Lego experience—including the minifigs.

After days of intense secrecy Lego has finally unveiled its Smart Play System which it says will allow toys to come alive in children's hands.
