ExerPongExercise for the Elderly
- David Carrick
- Annemarie Estess
- Irfan Ali Khan
2
Point of View
- An older, mobile individual, who is intimidated
by the intensity and inconvenience of a workout
routine, seeks a scalable and social activity
that puts the fun back into exercise
3
Prototype 1
- Enhanced Wii concept
- Buddy capability
- Heart rate tracking
- Sensors on each limb
- Adjustable sensitivity
- (All in theory)
4
Prototype 2
- Pong game
- Head-tracking used (IR source, Wiimote)
- Horizontal player motion, vertical paddle motion
- Feedback
- IR connection needed improvement
- Confusion with horizontal/vertical disconnect
(Jumping and squatting in Starbucks...)

Prototype 3
- Paddles move side-to-side with player
- Wiimote placed below TV
- Ball speed increases with correct hits
- Lamp bulb tested as IR source
- Feedback
- IR and Wiimote connectivity still difficult,
frustrating! - AI needs improvement
- FUN and silly

Prototype 4
- Swinging motion added
- Wiimote placed above TV
- IR glasses on top of head
- Feedback
- Swinging made it harder but more engaging
- IR connectivity much more consistent
- Disconnect between players expectations and
actual onscreen response, quality of motion - Slow to restart new games
- Fun and engaging!
- Game itself at a decent level, so now

Prototype 5
- Buddy video and indicator revisited
- Glasses on top of head
- Swinging and non-swinging versions
- Instant New Game button
- Feedback
- Suit it to living room dimensions
- More motion, more variety
- Maintain game speed as you improve
- Found buddy system engaging, a kick!
- Really fun, lots of laughter!

Key insights for Future
- Intuitive and clear presentation
- Use motions for balance, strength, endurance
- Provide encouragement
- Pursue buddy networking capability
- Track cumulative caloric progress, distance

Our most consistent feedback
- ITS REALLY FUN!!!!
- Lets see our users in action
