1. Description
Dust is a personalized companion that you can bring wherever you go or even attach to your clothes.
It gives you comfort and relaxation when you are depressed or tired.
It also has its own personality so that it randomly snores, vibrates and farts.

Garment are the closest personal companion.
This idea gave me the desire to develop wearable device that can provide fun, comfort and relaxation
wherever the owner goes especially when the owner is depressed or bored.
