Guu

  • Rachel Abigail Tomkins
A controller and game, which require use of the tripod finger hold, to help develop fine motor skills in children between the ages of 3 and 8.

Research led to a focus on fine motor skills between the ages of 3 and 8. Testing of basic and 3D printed models helped to develop and create form and scale.

Guu is a blob like character that is manipulated by the controller. The movements are one to one, for example when the controller is twisted, Guu twists on the screen. Guu's world has been taken over by a virus and the only way to save it is by exploring the world and capturing the virus. Once captured Guu must take the virus back to his home and trap it inside its teapot.
