One of the most unexpected announcements at CES 2026 is arguably the biggest change Lego has made to its bricks in decades. Adding a whole new dimension to creative play, Lego’s so-called Smart Bricks can sense motion, position and distance, bringing sets to life in a way fans have never seen before.
The company’s Smart Bricks have a chip inside that’s as small as a single Lego stud. It packs in multiple sensors, including light and sound, alongside an accelerometer and a tiny speaker capable of producing old-school synthesiser sounds for more dynamic play.
