Bringing dreams to life through muggle tech.




{ Lumos }

Warner bros. and The Blair Partnership approached us with a challenge - how can we bring the rich world of Harry Potter into the tech space?

We developed a new tool that aimed to engage the younger generation into creative computing, that felt both natural and fun. The wand connects to laptop and tablet, using a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer to centre the wands cursor on screen. With electricity being the ‘magic’ in muggle worlds it was a fun engineering and design challenge to bring this to life in the real world.




You’re a wizard, Elliot

As a Harry Potter fan myself I loved delving deep into and immersing myself in the lore of the world, designing hundreds of wands throughout the project.

Initially, we began designing wands very reminsicent of those you’d see in the films. However, as the product developed, we felt compelled to put our mark on what a wand could look and feel like. Modelmaking and research were extremely key to this projects success.
