Little You is an online application that seeks to enhance a child’s interest in these disciplines and more by captivating them in a creative, customizable process. By allowing children to design and customize 3D characters, children are able to create a miniature 3D character and customize every aspect of their appearance and identity. Users can select and add different costumes to design their 3D figure, and they also have the freedom to change colour, size and position for different add-on accessories. Advanced options include naming their creations, adding words and textured images to decorate their figure. Once they’ve fully customized their Little You character, children can share their creations with family, on social media, and with classmates and friends, which is an important part of the creative process; sharing their art helps social development, builds confidence, and creates community. To help with their entrepreneurial skills, children can also sell their 3D models once completed within the application. They can use points to unlock special features, access to limited holiday outfits and get licensed models. Little You’s suppliers then bring the 3D model to life with 3D printing, which can be delivered anywhere in the world, and allow children to see the fruits of their artistic efforts in a new way.
