Interactive Personalized Stuffed Animals Project: Enhancing Parent-Child Bonding through Affectionate, Stimulatory Play with Kaliko
What did we do?
During this project we designed an interactive set of personalized stuffed animals. The goal of our product is to show parents how much fun it is to spend time with their child through affectionate and stimulatory play. Kaliko makes the bond between parent and child physical and hereby strengthens it.
This project kickstarted my development as a designer. We functioned well as a group and I focused on the technological part of the project where I used a servo to move the ears of Kaliko. It was also our first time doing an extensive user test with children. Learned how important it is to plan your user test well and make clear what your project is all about. Overall, I made significant progress in Technology & Realization, User & Society, Creativity & Aesthetics.
