This is Sniff, a soft toy dog in green cotton plush. His carefully crafted exterior qualities don’t reveal that he is anything but a cuddly toy. But wireless technology allows him to ‘sniff’ and react to objects that come close to his nose.

By focusing on non-visual interactive qualities such as tactility, sound and vibration, Sniff is designed with the particular needs of children with sight impairment in mind. But Sniff also works for everyone, young and old, where he becomes a companion in play, work and everyday life.

    Love the way you've communicated the idea. Creating 'apps' around the dog (platform) would be neat. It could create new markets around things like trading cards and extensions to PC /online games in terms of viscereal tasks.
  • Timo plus 2 years ago
    Exactly: Sniff is a platform for all sorts of activities and applications.

    I'd buy one tomorrow for my daughter if they were available. Is there ever a chance they will go into production?

    Hey Sara, Timo, and Einar! We were really inspired by this video as well as "Nearness" we posted both of them on our site (culturenow.com/site/item.cfm?item=39471) We would be thrilled if you guys would post some more of your work there! All the best, Alex@Culturenow.com

    This is a really brilliant way of using an existing known behavior (sniffing) to create an intuitive interface that enables the interaction to take place.

    Using a puppy doll to sniff is much more intuitive than waving a plastic box with LEDs on it in front of a plastic disk... like so many other examples.

    I'm going to use this as an experience design example!
