The project aims to explore the role of toys and their relationship with humans; angled from a human computer perspective. It explores the idea of AI talking toys that tend to outlive the life of a human and imagining a situation when they can be passed on to the next generation.
The project takes the direction of speculative design that involves extrapolating the present scenario into the future in a different perspective. The idea is not to answer how things should be in the future but to question the nature of such situations, and how we can be cognizant of how we may be dealing with such an idea.
