HealthPaca aims to teach your kids about living a healthier lifestyle in a fun and engaging way!

Our project aims to encourage children (from ages 7-9) to live a healthier lifestyle through the use of a storybook and an interactive Augmented Reality (AR) application, as well as encourage parent-child bonding .

We hope that our storybook will also encourage reading, and that the application would stimulate the mind and improve coordination skills with children.

Aye, a lazy alpaca has been warned by the Guardian that his Health Spirit, Sol, is fading away. To avoid punishment, he has to help Sol fight enemies that make her weak. Together they embark on a short trip to find their enemies.

Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are "augmented" by the program/application. That is to say, the AR program will create objects, that could be interacted with, almost seemingly in the "real-world".

Our application allows the reading experience of HealthPaca to be more engaging and interactive by using this technology. The HealthPaca application does this by adding mini-games, animated scenes to the storybook, and an AR photobooth.
