A web-based interactive game designed for the seniors at Chinatown Active Ageing Centre (AAC) to promote physical health, mobility, and social connection.
This project targets the well-being of elderly participants by blending low-to-mid intensity physical exercises with gaming. Developed with accessibility in mind, the game is designed to be completely self-managed by the seniors, encouraging independent play and peer-to-peer socialization within the centre.
- Tailored Physical Activity: Incorporates low-to-mid intensity movements specifically designed to help the elderly stay active, healthy, and mobile.
- Independent Setup: The web interface is highly intuitive, allowing any group of seniors to easily launch, set up, and play the game by themselves without requiring constant staff supervision.
- Social Connection: Acts as a catalyst for communication, helping to improve socialization, teamwork, and bonding among the elderly community.
- Location: Chinatown Active Ageing Centre (AAC), Singapore.
- Users: Seniors looking for an engaging, accessible, and community-driven way to stay active.
