This semi-secret Lego Smart Brick feature gives it even more potential

Lego's Smart Brick can precisely measure distance and orientation between two bricks in 2D and 3D space, accurately tracking positions up to 4-5 meters apart. The bricks change color at exact intervals and can detect when they're facing each other. This capability extends beyond the basic proximity and orientation features initially demonstrated, offering potential for adult builders and more sophisticated applications than the initial Star Wars sets will utilize.
