Yes, you heard me right. Barbie maker, Mattel, announced at the 2016 International Toy Fair in New York that the Barbie Dreamhouse will come equipped with Wi-Fi allowing users of the toy to connect to an app for voice-recognition. Kids will now be able to interact with the new smart home by saying, ““Hello, Dreamhouse. Turn on the bedroom light,” and the lights will turn on. Other voice-activated controls include the elevator, the oven, and a whole-house “party mode” that makes the chandeliers spin and turns the stairs into a slide.
For a modest price of $299, this wonder of technology can be yours.
