Persona
There was Vrame — now there is Wormzzzy.
Wormzzzy is not just a simple frame, it is a personality: a shy, introverted, worm-like creature hiding in plain sight and not wanting to be found. It would rather be left alone, quietly coiled up in its minimalistic frame.
But if you start tapping and searching for it, Wormzzzy reacts and shows its true nature. It might seem harmless at first — do not let that fool you. Wormzzzy has an attitude, and when provoked it can be quite feisty.
Interaction
The worm-like frame embodies an introverted personality that hides itself from attention. Beneath the shy exterior lies a volatile anger that erupts dramatically when disturbed.
The interaction begins with a simple tap, revealing what first seems harmless and unassuming. As players continue, the frame’s true complexity and unpredictable emotions emerge, turning it into a reactive, expressive character with hidden layers to uncover.
Prototype
A flexible touch strip registers the touch, a micro vibration motor answers back, and an Arduino Uno board handles both the touch input processing and the vibration control.
