Exercise peripheral for gaming

2. Sponsor Proposed by Marshall Summar
Associate Professor in Pediatrics who is specialized in dealing with disabled children
Ken Roberts
Experienced Engineer, MBA student with youth exercise interests

3. Project Background Parents cannot motivate their kids to exercise
Kids willing to game but not exercise
Some of the kids have disabilities that make it difficult to exercise

4. Market Background
Device is for kids who have an unhealthy amount of body fat
Obesity caused from physical disabilities such as down syndrome
Children often become introverted due to their condition

5. Market Potential
The product will be targeted toward disabled and obese children
Doctors and pediatricians
Rehabilitation centers
Kid friendly fitness centers

6. Project Overview Goals
Require exercise to function
Useable while sitting
Burn 100 calories per 35 minutes
20 minutes of moderate dancing
12 minute jog in place
Be kid-proof
Present to tech transfer

7. Project Overview Goals (cont)
Refined prototype - end of February
Make a kid-proof system

8. Features Integrate Pedal as exercise
Disconnect controller after 3 seconds of no or low activity

14. Previous Project 2003
Wired a unicycle to control the up and down arrows.
Only worked for games that focus on holding up to play
Use current generator to measure motion

15. Work Completed Designed the pedaling model and circuitry
Prioritized the circuitry functions
Controller Connect/Disconnect
Red/Yellow/Green Indicators
Calorie/RPM
Ordered new parts to rebuild

16. Current Work
Programmed the microcontroller to interpret data from optical sensor
Redesign pedal model to be sturdier
Build mount for optical sensor
Build lock for PS2

17. Future Work Test the effectiveness of the pedal system
Incorporate an LCD to output speed and approximate amount of calories burned
Test functionality on different game types
Test/Evaluate effectiveness using video disconnect for other consoles
