Telly's Bubbles

Telly is an experience of active distraction with motor interaction, designed to accompany children during medical procedures or waiting times that require greater participation and concentration ability.

The experience is based on principles of therapeutic gamification and attentive and bodily engagement, with the aim of inducing a state of flow that reduces procedural anxiety and encourages patient collaboration.

In the world of Telly, the child is immersed in a soft, colorful, and dynamic environment, populated by floating and luminous elements — bubbles, lights, small shapes that react to their movements.

Through a simple mechanism of controlled motor interaction (such as the movement of the gaze, head, or controller), the child can “pop” or touch the bubbles, generating immediate visual and auditory feedback.

Each gesture produces a small sensory reward — a harmonic sound, a color change, a micro-animation — that reinforces the sense of control and personal effectiveness.

From a clinical perspective, the experience acts on several complementary levels:

Kinesthetic distraction: gentle and coordinated bodily activation shifts the perceptual focus from the medical stimulus to the playful gesture.
Multisensory integration: the combination of coherent visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli promotes emotional orientation and stability.
Executive engagement and cognitive regulation: the simple but continuous task requires selective attention, helping the child maintain an optimal level of concentration and self-control.
Reduction of procedural anxiety and improvement of coping: playful activity replaces the avoidance reaction with positive participation, transforming the procedure into a shared play context.

Telly is suitable for school-aged children, where the exploratory and competitive component can be channeled therapeutically.

The experience is designed to be synchronized with the timing of the procedure, keeping the child continuously engaged but not overstimulated, thus ensuring a balance between activation and relaxation.

In this balance between movement, attention, and play, Telly becomes a cognitive bridge between body and mind, helping the child to remain present, engaged, and calm while taking care of themselves — or, as often happens, while someone else takes care of them.

Telly's Bubbles: humanizing therapy in pediatric wards

The experience is based on principles of therapeutic gamification and attentive and bodily involvement, with the aim of inducing a controlled state of flow that reduces procedural anxiety and promotes patient collaboration.

In the world of Telly, the child is immersed in a soft, colorful, and dynamic environment, populated by floating and glowing elements — bubbles, lights, small shapes that react to their movements.

Through a simple mechanism of controlled motor interaction (such as eye movement, head movement, or the controller), the child can "pop" or touch the bubbles, generating immediate visual and auditory feedback.

Each gesture produces a small sensory reward — a harmonious sound, a color change, a micro-animation — which reinforces the sense of control and personal effectiveness.

From a clinical point of view, the experience acts on several complementary levels:

Kinesthetic distraction: light and coordinated bodily activation shifts the perceptual focus from the medical stimulus to the playful gesture.
Multisystemic sensory integration: the combination of coherent visual, tactile, and auditory stimuli fosters orientation and emotional stability.
Executive engagement and cognitive regulation: the simple but continuous task requires selective attention, helping the child maintain an optimal level of concentration and self-control.
Reduction of procedural anxiety and improvement of coping: playful activity replaces the avoidance reaction with positive participation, transforming the procedure into a shared play context.

Telly is suitable for school-aged children, where the exploratory and competitive component can be channeled therapeutically.

The experience is designed to be syncable with the timing of the procedure, keeping the child continuously engaged but not overstimulated, thus ensuring a balance between activation and relaxation.

In this balance of movement, attention, and play, Telly becomes a cognitive bridge between body and mind, helping the child remain present, engaged, and calm while taking care of themselves — or, as often happens, while someone else takes care of them.
