Hello Barbie- Soon a smart health connected Barbie

March 11, 2020

Hello Barbie, a smart health connected Barbie would be in preparation on the Mattel side. At 56, Barbie is about to talk to the children and answer their questions.

Hello Barbie will therefore be an interactive doll smart health connected to the internet. With this Barbie full of technology, we are far from the first models. She would even be able to learn from these conversations. The technology used is that of ToyTalk, a company specialized in particular in iPad applications and led by Oren Jacob; a former Pixar tech.

The discussions that children can have with their smart health connected doll will obviously be adapted to their young age, but since the latter will be smart health connected to the internet, it will certainly be possible to buy other discussion scenarios.

For safety-conscious parents, the marketed doll will only be able to listen when a button is pressed. Currently, on the prototype, this button is located on the buckle of the Barbie belt. This prototype was presented at the Toy Fair in New York.

Mattel seems to be working hard to enter the digital age. The company had announced earlier this week the upgrade of its View-Master. The latter will indeed become a virtual reality headset running Android.
