Snoozy the Sloth is a plush toy with a respiratory system. He sleeps while clinging onto a user, allowing them to feel both the contraction and expansion of his chest, as well exhaling of air from his mouth. The main concept behind snoozy is to create an intimate, yet passive, toy interaction that relaxes and comforts a user, through the tactile experience of steady breathing patterns.
Role 1:
Amanda is a 9 year old girl who's often troubled by riding in the car. She's usually comforted by one of her parents or siblings, but when it's just she and her mom riding in the car, she becomes quite upset. Snoozy gentle breathing patterns and soft body can help calm her down during those lonely rides.
Role 2:
Erin is a 24 year old female currently attending grad school. With her busy schedule, she rarely has time for intimate encounters with others. Using Snoozy allows her to have a lifelike friend to cuddle with when she needs some company. He can also be used as a method for stress relief.
