Research Topic:
Learning in Game.
Background:
Educational games are a great tool for building foundation math and language skills that today's elementary school curriculum requires. These learning games and songs for kids are fun, teach important skills for preschool and elementary school kids. Educational games help build skills in math, language, science, social studies,and many more.
Problem Identification:
There are many games developed but not many of them are educational. Kids are living in this advance generation and they might learning something bad from the games.
Aim and Objective:
To help the kids leaning and exercise while playing game.
Motivation:
Kids can no longer playing games on gaming console but with moving their body too. They also can improve their knowledge in playing the game.
Ideation and Concept:
There will be a stick in front of projector which function like a joystick and user can shake or move the stick to play the game.
Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:
Like adults, kids need exercise. Most children need at least an hour of physical activity every day. Regular exercise helps children
1. Feel less stressed
2. Feel better about themselves
3. Feel more ready to learn in school
4. Keep a healthy weight
5. Build and keep healthy bones, muscles and joints
6. Sleep better at night
As kids spend more time watching TV, they spend less time running and playing. Parents should limit TV, video game and computer time. Parents can set a good example by being active themselves. Exercising together can be fun for everyone. Competitive sports can help kids stay fit. Walking or biking to school, games, dancing, bowling and yoga are some other ways for kids to get exercise.
Design Approach:
A stick set in front of projector and there will be variety of mini games for kids to play and learn.

Proposal 2
Research Topic:
Exercise with Game!
Background:
With all the new toys and inventions coming out, with all the little motorized scooters and what not, and the overwhelming amount of video and computer games that kids are playing, the weight/health problems of the kids is becoming worse. Once the kids have already suffered and are obviously not in the condition and child should be in, the parents and society itself goes and tries to blame the schools for their bad food, or hell even McDonalds for their food not being healthy enough. Whatever happened to going outside and playing in the backyard, or taking your kids to the park.
Problem Identification:
With the advance technology nowadays, we can play any kind of games on our mobile devices or computer. That had cause us to lack exercise and hence increasing the happening of body illness.
Aim and Objective:
To combine the entertainment and exercise for a healthier life.
Motivation:
People nowadays are extremely lack of exercise and healthy lifestyle. This project can let the user playing games and exercise our body in the process.
Ideation and Concept:
In this project the devices that will be used is bicycle alike device and variety of mini games that create high score and people need to break the record by cycling on the device to play the games.
Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:
Bicycling has several advantages over other exercises:
1. Cycling exercises the heart better than walking without the pounding of jogging.
2. One can ride a bicycle almost anywhere, at any time of the year, and at low cost.
3. Little or no time has to be lost, as bike travel can be used to get to work, perform errands, or enjoy the outdoors.
4. Commuting by bike reduces pollution that causes asthma and bronchitis. A commuting cyclist is also less exposed to air pollution than a commuting motorist.
On the down side, cycling does involve some risk of injury which has been greatly exaggerated by fearmongers. Cycling actually has similar risks to traveling by automobile. The British Medical Association has estimated that the health benefits of cycling outweigh the risks by twenty to one.
Design Approach:
There will be a bicycle alike device set in front of the screen and in order to play the game user need to cycle the bicycle.

Proposal 1
Research Topic:
Drum, Music and Art
Background:
Drum, music and art are the ways of releasing stress. There are many therapy nowadays to help people release their tension on work, study or many more.
Drum therapy is an ancient approach that uses rhythm to promote healing and self-expression. From the shamans of Mongolia to the Minianka healers of West Africa, therapeutic rhythm techniques have been used for thousands of years to create and maintain physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Current research is now verifying the therapeutic effects of ancient rhythm techniques. Recent research reviews indicate that drumming accelerates physical healing, boosts the immune system and produces feelings of well-being, a release of emotional trauma, and reintegration of self.
Problem Identification:
There are so many kind of ways to release stress and this is a experimental project to test by combining different kind of therapy is it help to boost the effect of release stress or vice versa.
Aim and Objective:
To test the effect of different therapy in release stress by combining them.
Motivation:
Stress are everywhere in this busy world. I hope that it can provide a efficient way for people to release their tension and stress.
Ideation and Concept:
I'll be using drum alike device, projector to project the color splash and different genre of music in this project. By combining them the scene will look like a stage and hence helps to release our stress.
Review, Analysis and Precedence Studies:
Drumming induces deep relaxation, lowers blood pressure, and reduces stress. Stress, according to current medical research, contributes to nearly all disease and is a primary cause of such life-threatening illnesses as heart attacks, strokes, and immune system breakdowns. A recent study found that a program of group drumming helped reduce stress and employee turnover in the long-term care industry and might help other high-stress occupations as well.
Art therapy is a form of therapeutic practice which uses art in order to deal with emotions and issues. It is a therapy which empowers the user through the use of art and creativity.
Many experts suggest that it is the rhythm of the music or the beat that has the calming effect on us although we may not be very conscious about it. They point out that when we were a baby in our mother's womb, we probably were influenced by the heart beat of our mother. We respond to the soothing music at later stages in life, perhaps associating it with the safe, relaxing, protective environment provided by our mother.
Design Approach:
The scene will be look like a little stage for user to express their feeling and release tension.
