ACTV8 Fitness Arcade is a designed system of objects containing an interactive wall, a tracking wristband, mat controller, weight kiosk, smartbells, and AI earbuds. The system immerses individuals in an interactive space, using gamification to promote fitness through fun, animated visuals and tasks, replicating bootcamp-type exercises. Individuals have the option to join in on group activities in teams of up to eight players. The concept was developed to increase social interaction between participants in a physical environment through exercise and critical thinking. Gamification has been included as a motivator, as well as a distractor from the usual hardships of exercise and discipline for fitness activities.
Proposed Solution:
By developing a fitness arcade where individuals can challenge themselves, as well as others within their fitness level, in a an environment that is fun and interactive, with the ability to connect with others through gaming.
