As kids we always fancied having an elusive Barbie doll in our collection of toys. For those who owned one, it was not only a thing of great pride but also a source of endless entertainment. Inviting friend over for a tea-party and weaving stories around the Barbie doll is one thing that young girls used to do very often. As we grew up, these gorgeous dolls formed a part of our fondest childhood memories.
After surprising us with its countless avatars including that of Gigi Hadid and Wonder Woman, our beloved doll is back with a brand new avatar. And this time she’s is all ready to meet the demands of the tech savvy Gen-X. No, we are not talking about a scientist or an engineer Barbie, instead we are talking about a hologram Barbie!
Mattel, the company that manufactures Barbie, recently unveiled ‘Hello Barbie Hologram’ at annual fair in New York City. The hologram of Barbie, that is housed inside a pink plastic case, remains active as long as the power in the toy stays plugged in and features voice commands to change her appearance, clothes and even skin tone.
