Born in Lugano, Switzerland, Ramona Banfi graduated from the University of Applied Science and Arts of Southern Switzerland (SUPSI) as a Visual Communication designer. After her Bachelor she moved to Turin, Italy, for an internship as a graphic designer at Officine Arduino. She is interested in the interaction design and the user experience world. Thanks to this strong passion, she has returned to school to start a Master of Advanced Studies in Interaction Design.

“ToastMe” is a new and unique way to interact with the game “Super Marshmallow Kingdom”. A toast, the main character of the game, has to escape from the marshmallows that are dropping from the ceiling. He must escape because he ate a brown muffin that was a citizen of the marshmallow kingdom. The king marshmallow commanded the soldiers to eliminate the toast. The controller allows the user to have a better harmony between the game and the knob, developing the actual state of interaction offered by keyboards. This aspect is stressed by the design of the controller: it is consistent with the game itself. The project was developed during the course “Digital fabrication” held by professor Enrico Bassi at the Master of Advanced Studies in Interaction Design at SUPSI, Lugano, a.y. 2015-2016.
