CES 2026: Lego Smart Brick’s Hidden Feature is a High-Tech Ruler

Fresh off winning a Best in Show award at CES 2026, Lego’s upcoming Smart Brick has just revealed a surprise capability that could revolutionize adult building. While we knew it was smart, a hidden demo at The Lego Group’s suite showcased a precise distance measurement feature.

By connecting a Smart Brick to a custom 10-stud (8cm) “Lego ruler” and dragging a second brick along the track, the system functions as a digital caliper. This allows for incredibly precise measurements of distances and gaps within complex builds. This feature elevates the Smart Brick from a simple interactive toy to a legitimate engineering tool for AFoLs (Adult Fans of Lego), promising a future where digital precision meets physical plastic creativity.
