Susuwatari
An academic project for my prototyping course focused on basic techniques to evaluate design effectiveness in the real world and to evolve design through iteration.
Narrative
Inspired by Studio Ghibli’s animated fantasy film My Neighbor Totoro, Susuwatari are cuddly creatures that live with you in your home. They like to be held and they tend to fall asleep when you rock them in your arms but get annoyed if shake them too aggressively.

Goal
To create an intelligent interactive fuzzy haired plush toy that reacts to rocking and shaking motions with different sounds.
