InBOT Character Design
Inbot's design drew inspiration from iconic characters like EVA from Wall-E and Clippy, the paperclip assistant from Microsoft Office. It also took cues from Google's Android Bot to embody a tech-savvy & innovative spirit. The mascot was crafted to be approachable and supportive, with a warm, inviting personality that users could relate to. Its emotions were designed to be cute and relatable, enhancing user engagement.
BOT Form - Inbot takes the shape of a VR headset, creating a visually intuitive connection with the learning environment. Its sleek and approachable design ensures that it remains non-intrusive yet engaging within the 3D space.

BOT Function - Inbot acts as a contextual guide, offering real-time assistance, explanations, and feedback. It helps users navigate educational simulations while maintaining an interactive and immersive experience.

BOT Touchpoints - Inbot seamlessly integrates into the user journey without disrupting learning. It appears at critical moments to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer visual cues, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience.

BOT Characteristics - Designed to be friendly, helpful, and expressive, Inbot uses animations, emoticons, and sound effects to communicate effectively. It balances professionalism with warmth, making it approachable for students while maintaining an educational focus.
