Description
This application helps parents increase their children’s involvement in physical activity. Parents add children to their “accounts”, providing them with their own login. The primary of the role of the parent then shifts towards tracking the child’s physical activity (including step count and minutes) and entering it into the system. Every 10 steps or 1 minute of activity rewards the child with 1 second of play time or 1 unit of in-game currency. Children can login and use the in-game currency to customize their mascot character, allowing other users of the system to see their customizations.

* parent
