Green Goose is turning life into it's very own role-playing game, by embeddingcustom 915MHz radios and MEMS accelerometers in a variety of tiny transmitters which you can mount to household objects these objects then report back to the receiver and increases your score in the game. For example by brushing your teeth on time, excersing repeatedly and drinking enough water will level you up! Currently they are working on motives on why it is important for you to level up and what the use for leveling up can be used for. Green Goose has potential to partner with companies at the launch conference in San Francisco to dispatch the sensors.
That is seriously so awesome. I think it's a cool way to stay competetive and get exercise and maintain your hygene. That's a great concept that would be cooler if they applied this to more games.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a great tool to motivate children to exercise, maintain their hygiene, and consume more water. It seems like it would give the children an incentive and therefore they will want to do it. This may even work for adults who find it challenging to do such activities.
