Ludo
An interactive box for children who are undergoing hospital treatments, with a virtual character named Ludo which they can take care of using various physical sensors on the box’s exterior.
Project Description:
The ‘Ludo’ project was born out of the pain identified in children treated in the hospitals, with a goal to create a kit for them that could be a sublimation of the treatment experience:
- Changing the kit box in such a way that the patient examines and interacts with the box from the outside
- To make the child a therapist of some creature himself and not as a patient.
The result is an interactive box in the form of a living person that contains a screen and various interactions that enable these goals. Through contact and various actions we create relationships and a feeling of caring for the animal that appears in it. The creature is in a status similar to the status of the child, the patient, and therefore the child will be able to process the experience that passes through him during the treatment.
