Milo Plush
A room friend for daytime play and bedtime return.
Own-room night setup
Start with what the child needs tonight.
One low light. One sound choice. One familiar daytime object or room friend. The room stays ordinary; the digital world quietly brings those familiar things to life.
Three familiar objects
Useful before the room becomes magical.
Shell Light
A low, soft bedside light for the first night.
Reef Accent
One small daytime object the room can respond around.
A room that notices
Small responses, then quiet again.
Discover
One small fish appears near a familiar object, then pauses.
Notice
Milo chooses whether to approach after the room has already begun to feel alive.
Rest
At night, the movement leaves and Milo returns to the plush.
Milo goes home
The digital room leaves. The room friend stays.
In Rest, the fish hide and digital Milo crosses toward the familiar plush. The final scene is simply the child's room again.

Build this in a real room
No ocean-themed bedroom required.
A room, a light, a familiar object, and a room friend are enough. Furniture stays neutral and belongs to the family—not to a product bundle.
No cameraThe room responds to touch and timing, not child tracking.
No recordingParticipation never requires a child's image, voice, or name.
Gentle motionNo strobe, rapid flashing, or startle entrance.
Child-reachableThe light, room friend, and daytime object stay low and familiar.
How we're testing this
Method and privacy
Does the child want to come back?
We use structured checkpoints across the first two weeks. Room Gravity is an internal measure of voluntary return, not a promise about sleep outcomes. Anonymous pilot observations remain separate from publication consent.
