The Populley is developed for cancer patients between the 6-12 years old. The problem is that cancer patients can become isolated since they often have to stay in a hospital room. Because of their illness and therapy, playing like normal children becomes hard. The Populley must create a safe and fun environment where they can be children again and can enjoy their time with family and friends. For the Advanced Embodiment Design course the Populley had to be optimized on safety and interaction. Besides this, it had to be re-designed for manufacturing.
