"Talking Kids" Cabbage Patch Kids

"Talking Cabbage Patch Kid" dolls, equipped with a voice chip, touch sensors, and an infrared device for communicating with other such dolls. The touch sensors enable the dolls to detect when and how the toy is being played with in response to its vocalizations, e.g. the doll might say "hold my hand" and give an appropriate speech response when the touch sensor in the hand detected pressure. A more remarkable effect occurs when one doll detects the presence of another through its IR transmitter/receiver. The dolls are programmed to signal their "awareness" of each other with a short phrase, e.g. "I think there's someone else to play with here!", and then to initiate simple conversations between the dolls themselves with enough randomness to sound natural.
