Healthy Super Mario: Tap your stomach and shout for active healthcare

Abstract

The purpose of game provides fun and enjoyment to users. Most of the game, however, has physical dysfunction with providing fun experience. As a solution about this problem, the body movement based game like Nintendo Wii was presented. However, it just prevents the physical dysfunction by adopting body movement as game input and requires the special controller to play a game. In this research, we suggest a new game input style which is tapping stomach and shouting. It is not only preventing the dysfunction but also promoting health.
