SS09 – Colourful Seniors

“Colourful Seniors” aims to encourage seniors to maintain good health to live a colorful life. A computer exercise program is developed to help seniors learn simple exercises. As opposed to traditional exercises, the program also aims to take care of the mental health of the elderly by enabling them to connect with the trendy social happenings. To instill lively energy, the program will focus on the trendy exercise / dance, such as “科目三”, Jisoo’s Flower dance, etc. AI image recognition is used to guide the correct postures. To keep the seniors engaged and motivated, seniors could create avatars if they pass through certain exercise requirements. The program also aims to further strengthen the brain memory of the elderly. The exercise program has follow up games to reinforce what they have learned. To give the elderly sense of achievement, the platform allows reciprocal offerings where the elderly can also teach the younger ones. For better training effects, the exercise trainer and games can be projected via a hologram. With the exposure to state-of-the-art technology, it can also take care of the mental health of the elderly by giving them a sense of privilege, versus being deprived of new things in the world.
