  • Publication number: 20090053972
    Abstract: An interactive toy doll is described for performing and displaying realistic facial expressions and ordered sequences of visual and aural effects upon activation. A head shell is provided having a flexible, elastic sheath layer overlaying its surface and configured for fluid skin-like movement in response to movement of eyelid and jaw pieces to emulate realistic human facial skin movement and expressions. The doll includes at least one sensor disposed thereon and a position orientation switch. Upon initial activation of a sensor, the doll is responsive to subsequent re-orientation thereafter for a pre-determined amount of time.
