Loop
A portable sensory regulation pod for children with anxiety that combines a small igloo-style sanctuary with tactile 'yoyo' breathing beads that expand and contract rhythmically.

The Wow Moment
A terrified child during a sensory overload moment crawls inside their Loop pod, and the alligator's belly begins to glow in rhythm with their elevated heart rate, while the breathing beads slowly expand and contract - visually teaching them to calm down as they unconsciously match the rhythm, their panic dissolving within 90 seconds.
