Story
Max, 5 years old, diagnosed with epilepsy has to go for one of his routine checks with his mom. Max hates the experience of going in for the brain scans. It is not just one waiting room, but multiple.
As he enters the hospital this day, his mom uses his medical card to log in on a touch screen. When the beacon sticker is printed, Max quickly grabs it and hold on to it. As he looks up, he sees the monkey being summoned on the wall. The monkey greets Max and tells him everything will be fine.
It points Max in the direction towards the reception and follows him there. Max is awed and follows without any questioning. When they get to the reception, the mom fills out the paperwork while Max is being entertained by the monkey on the wall.
As they move towards the waiting room and pass by the nonplaces, the monkey goes through obstacles but creates a coherent coordinated process between the troublesome transitions.
As they arrive at the waiting area, the monkey will jump into a screen and give Max & his mom personalized information about how much waiting time there is, and more information about epilepsy.
