live in the pink: Critique 1: Proposal Four

Research Topic

"Amusing Work Out"

Theme

Body, Identity and Sensors

Background

It is an interactive application/installation that is inf

ormative and useful about how we can increase our height naturally without spending lots of our money on surgery. This installation is to introduce to people way of exercising and stretching that will correct our body postures therefore increase 2-6 more inch of our height with consistent and frequent exercise.

Problem Identification

We've been told since we were small that there is no way that we can grow taller after we have reached our puberty level. And most of us did not know that we have potential to be 3-5 inches (7-12cm) taller and we never really use those potential. And foremost, most of the people that are short, including myself, we are lack of confidenc

e because of our height. Me might actually want to try every possible solution to increase our heig

ht even for 1 inch.

Aim and Objectives

To give motivation to people so that they will practice and apply the routine consistently.
To give satisfaction if they are able to increase their heights.
To keep body fit and correct body postures.

Motivation

Since I can consider myself a short person or petite, so with this project, at the same time I can do a research about height and learn more the steps of stretching and exercising to increase height. And by doing that, I can improve my installation with variety of stretching and the way it works can be interesting with a lot of fun while exercising.

Ideation and Concept

An exercise mat on the floor, and there will be projection of video or image of the stretching. User have to follow in a sequent from the beginning of the step until the last one. The webcam will detect when the user place his/her hand and legs correctly on the mat and show correct body postures. Only then user can do the next step, after they successfully follow the first step correctly.
