Emotional pillow

This pillow understands the way the user is treating it and responses depending on its interaction. The pillow shows its reaction through feral (e.g. cat) emotional feedback and lets it become alive. For instance, patting or stroking evokes positive feedback whereas hitting the pillow causes aggressive and repellent behavior. This concept was part of the elderly care project, where I tried to find interactions supporting elderly health. Therefore it can be used in areas for children's toys or elderly care, where fun and emotional support might play an important role.
