Brief: Design, program and make a set of connected devices, around the theme of remote experiences

​

Research demonstrates play is one of the best ways to connect with the people in our lives, including when we sometimes can’t be together physically. And though the advent of mobile and other online games has greatly contributed to this, we wanted to consider this from a more analog perspective.

 

Milo is a 1v1 colour memorisation game designed as a reimagining of the classic game Simon. It is coded using an M5StickC Plus, and uses an API system to allow for long distance gameplay. This encourages users to implement play into their daily life, and feel close to their loved ones however far they may be.
