Role

Interaction Designer

An original reimagining of a slinky, the ever-iconic “springy” toy – the Ultra-Slinky Sonic Playground is a wonderful music and light based interactive experience that focuses on capturing dedicated moments to play.


As the participant “walks” their hand over it – The rainbow lights and electronic music change patterns, flow and speed. It’s intentional modular design, use of mixed materials, upbeat song and bright colours are meant to evoke feelings of excitement, wonder and pure eye-sparkling joy.

PROJECT BRIEF

Create a novel, tangible experience. It can be an object, a physically immersive space, an installation, a robot/agent, a wearable or something else we have not imagined. It should be contextually aware or interactive (have a sensory component).

CHALLENGES

Designing a custom lamp can be expensive, making it unattainable for those seeking a high-level of customization without breaking the bank.
