8. Introduction Motivation The idea of this project is based on the issue of physical exercise that should be practiced without fail by everybody. There are numerous types of exercise that offers an endless list of benefits to one’s health. Without doubt, one of the most easiest and applicable exercise for all is; none other than walking. Walking regardless of its distance is by nature a part of everyday life’s routine to get to Point B from Point A, and vice versa. Problem Identification Instead of using keyboard to control the interaction, input devices to detect feet motion should be included so that it will not be standstill at one place with only visual aid to give the illusion that the user is so-called walking.
