Development Story

Mia is characterised (we think) by her cute eye movements and her rich eye expressions of joy, anger and sadness when her head is stroked, and we would like to describe the story of how we created over 100 different rich eye expressions using Figma through trial and error. In the future, we would like to extend this eye design so that it can also be created by the user.

In the early days, I used a 3D printer to print the design of Mia's body through trial and error, but it didn't turn out to be a pretty design, and I felt I had reached my limits along the way. In this interview, we asked Mr Inada what he was particular about when designing Mia, and how he designed the chassis with mass production in mind.
