An embedded microcontroller animates the cover, allowing Lucien to respond through voice clips, haptic feedback (vibrations), and dynamic light effects.
How can we make hypersensitivity tangible and playful? When author Marie-Ève Leclerc Dion tasked us with generating excitement for her new children’s book, Lucien Supersensible, we drew inspiration from the mechanics of the classic game Operation.
The result is a “hyper-special” edition that transforms the book cover into a fully immersive sensory experience. Lucien comes to life, reacting directly to environmental stimuli and inviting both children and adults to perceive the world through a different lens.

The interactive tokens, inspired by the book’s original characters, were first modeled in 3D before being meticulously machined from metal using CNC technology,
