Miss Baker | Space Monkey

Miss Baker is a playful and innovative device designed to inspire children to stay active while having fun. This wearable device, attached to a shoe, tracks steps using an accelerometer and displays information on an OLED screen. It connects via Bluetooth to a Unity 3D game, where it utilizes a gyroscope to function as a game controller, guiding the movement of the game character.

Concept and Design

The primary objective of this project was to integrate the game controller functionality directly into the game, creating an interactive and engaging experience. By blending physical activity with gameplay, Miss Baker transforms exercise into a delightful adventure.

Why Miss Baker?

The device is named in honor of Miss Baker (1957 – November 29, 1984), a pioneering squirrel monkey who became one of the first animals to be sent into space and return safely. Her historic journey inspired the playful theme of the game, which features a whimsical bakery universe with villainous donuts and muffins as antagonists. This name and theme add a layer of educational fun, linking history with interactive play.
