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.
