Summary

This body-interactive content lets children press a pump prop to inflate an onscreen balloon and lift a character skyward. As children press the pump repeatedly, internal sensors detect the pressure and frequency in real time onscreen. Linking the pumping with the character's rising altitude, it helps children move their whole body and feel achievement.
First, it builds upper-body strength and endurance. To lift the character higher, children repeatedly use the arms, shoulders, and upper body, and a steady rhythm boosts endurance and stamina. Through repetition, children learn to control their strength and feel the joy of moving.
Second, it strengthens visual exploration and achievement. As the character rises, the background shifts from a front yard to the sky, clouds, and outer space. These shifts stir curiosity and imagination, and reaching the goal builds confidence. Advancing step by step builds perseverance, and success raises self-esteem.

By combining 50 kinds of physical activity -linked digital games with STEAM educational contents, we will play a role in stimulating children's body, psychology and social development and helping healthy growth. The children's experience playground, which utilizes its contents, was operated by the Funtory House, and was able to develop a realistic game that responded to the behavior of children according to each developmental stage. Currently, the company provides an integrated sensor-content-hardware integrated solution that can be serviced to play, education, and treatment institutions, and provides standardized platforms and subscription contents that are freely compatible with various games and body-sensitive input devices. The second business of the company is an eco -friendly spatial sculpture module that can easily disassemble, assemble, and reuse, to create a variable exhibition space. We launch a <Brickit> that stacks the three-dimensional modules and a <TiLiT> system for the highly freedom art wall production, and is supplied to many companies and institutions that want to practice Zero-Waste.
