Petever is a multi-sensory interactive installation designed to help pet owners stay emotionally connected to their pet's memories. Inspired by the symbols of the music box and the life cycle of the mushroom, the project simulates the pet's ‘heartbeat’ through customised pet models, touch sensors and warm lighting, allowing owners to feel a familiar sense

In designing the Pet Memory Device, I was inspired by the traditional music box and the life cycle of the mushroom as a central form to symbolise the continuity of memory. Through initial sketches and explorations, I designed a touch-sensitive music box with a soft light activated by a touch on the top, representing the pet's response to the user, thus adding to the emotional interaction.

Petever's NFC feature allows users to quickly open a gallery of pet-related photos and relive those precious moments anytime by simply holding their phone close to the device. Whether it's a happy moment with your pet or an intimate photo with your owner, NFC makes memories accessible.

In Petever's virtual game interface, users can explore vast natural environments with their customised pet models. The game is designed to bring pets to life in the virtual world, interacting with their owners at all times.Petever keeps pet memories and emotions alive in the virtual world through this interactive experience.
