Imagine this. You wake up on a Saturday morning (or afternoon) and the sun is shining, but you wake up alone with no one to make you breakfast. But you don’t care because you have an interactive blanket that is wirelessly connected to your home appliances. So, without getting out of bed, you can press your ‘smart’ blanket and start the coffee maker or touch another area to turn on the television, wirelessly. If you think this is a dream come true, it has.
Westpoint Home has created such a product. Right now, they have electronically woven comforters (in Cinderella print) that will light up and interact. Currently, the blanket will light up and blink. But this will set up a major precendence on new things to come. So your next question may be, how do I wash it? Simple. The fibers are completely washing machine safe. At $60 this may be a steal for a child that wants their princess and inner-geek fix.
