Mixed Reality Virtual Pets

This system was built to study how VR might help kids exercise. It uses activity trackers (Zamzee) to track kids exercise, and allows them to use that exercise to help a virtual pet get better. Through the large-screen kiosk they set goals and play with their pet. By reaching goals, they could teach their pet new tricks.
