Annotation

Cloud is an ergonomically shaped haptic aid designed to attach to a school desk corner. It serves as a discreet, portable sensory tool, especially for children on the autism spectrum. It’s non-distracting and avoids drawing attention. Its shape allows various tactile interactions—squeezing, rubbing, or leaning. Suitable for both right- and left-handed users. Cloud is made from flexible, durable, and health-safe materials—either silicone casting or 3D printing with TPU. These allow varied textures and softness, offering specific tactile stimulation. The structure is parametrizable in 3D software for custom adjustments.
