"According to , the LEGO Smart Play system is powered by these new Smart Bricks. Basically, it's all "tiny standalone computer[s] that can be integrated into LEGO builds." These devices feature a mic, speaker, and LED lights that then activate as they "detect movements, light, and gestures." These Smart Bricks can also recognize LEGO's similarly novel Smart Tags, which "trigger unique sounds or lighting effects based on which ones are nearby.""
