Projected image of user’s obese-size body on the screen to give visual picture to user the feeling of obese people. Also to give awareness that it is not too late to prevent obesity.

Third
As user walks following the footsteps on the floor, they will see their obese-size visual image slowly reduce and become smaller bit by bit.

Ending
