iMO:
iMO is designed very differently when compared to the usual stuffed toys which more or less looks like animals and aliens. Here, it is consciously created in an abstract simple form which helps children to perceive the toy very creatively. Its iteractive features in different scenarios will keep the kids engaged and happier.
Future Work:
There is a huge lot of scope to make the toy more interactive and humorous by playing with light and sound. Imo rather than just being a toy, could also be a good companion to the old people who have very few people around to interact. Hence it can also go to old age homes as well. The element of light can also be explored very differently in different scenarios.
Self Assessment:
The whole journey of the project was fun and challenging and it helped me to understand and explore a lot of things. I sincerely believe that this project helped me very well to get a better understanding on many aspects of design while developing a product.
