EVO is a companion that is developing along with the child and accompanying them throughout a long period of their childhood. The toy is growing both in physical appearance and internal features, matching the child’s developing skills, needs and interests. This allows the child to form an emotional bond with EVO, likely increasing the toys lifespan and defer emotional obsolesce. EVO’s appearance is inspired by the look of plush toys, which are often the toys children are attached to the most. It communicates via several expanding methods, like a LED based mimic system, vibration and sound. It reacts to the child’s gestures and voice.
