Hemisphere
Designed in collaboration with Jane Cope
Hemisphere is and interaction toy designed for autistic children to promote cognitive function and relaxed behaviour through mental focus and stimulation.
The design is based completely on user interaction by creating an input and producing an output. We first focused on the interaction itself as Children touch and feel everything within reaching distance and therefore an object which uses this inquisitive nature as an input was ideal.
Hemisphere has a soft sandblasted texture inviting the user to touch it. Once touched blue LEDs begin to spin and the longer the contact, the faster they spin. If the user removes their hand the light will stop in the position on the hemisphere that the user has let go. If held for to long the light glows red signalling the end of the game.
