Barbie's high-tech Dreamhouse
3 of 14
Barbie has always had a glitzy Dreamhouse, but this year her pad gets a high-tech renovation.
Barbie now lives in a two-story smart house that connects to Wi-Fi and responds to voice commands. You can tell the house to do more than 100 things, such as open the door, turn on the fireplace, flush the toilet, operate the elevator and convert the staircase into a slide. Tiny sensors embedded into the floor detect where she is in the house, so the virtual assistant knows how to best respond.
Toymaker Mattel(MAT) pairs the home with a corresponding app, so kids create sound effects or control the built-in options, such as music or a crackling fireplace.
But the vamped up dollhouse isn't cheap: It costs $300.
