How can the potential of entertainment technology be amplified to help people connect with each other from the safety and comfort of their homes?
Many new students struggle with deep homesickness when they leave for college, with nearly 70% battling loneliness or separation anxiety—feelings that can spiral into depression. Sadly, many are too afraid to reach out for help, suffering in silence. AmiBot was created to be more than just a device; it’s a lifeline for these students. Designed to help them stay connected with their loved ones, no matter where they are, AmiBot offers warmth and familiarity. Its friendly, expressive face and eco-friendly design, crafted from repurposed baby monitors, bring a touch of home to those who feel lost and far away, providing comfort when it’s needed most.
