Runimalz: a revolutionary hybrid toy awarded by the EPDA.
Runimalz is a hybrid toy made up of an APP / video game, a control board, three characters (wolf, gorilla and chameleon) and a totem / spinning top. Thanks to RFID technology, the three characters come to life on the control board that connects, using Wi-Fi, to smartphones and tablets via the APP. The game takes place by moving the creatures along the three tracks of the special board. The totems / spinning tops, instead, give special powers to the characters during the game. Runimalz is a project made in collaboration with Xplored, a game company that designed and developed the video game. Our study focused on the design of the board and the optimization and industrialization of the entire product.
