Active-Adventure: The Winds of Orbis

'The Winds of Orbis: An Active-Adventure' will be the Entertainment Technology Center's first interactive game for children that uses the Wiimote and DDR floor pad to put the guest into the shoes of an on-screen hero. This student-pitched project will use the expertise of resident medical experts to construct a measurable workout for the guest that focuses on progression through structured cardiovascular exercises and repeated body movements. There will be a devoted focus to take the player's mind off of burning calories and into game world immersion through revolutionary gameplay, a powerful art style, and a compelling narrative. Our objective is not to replace traditional exercise for children; it is to offer an alternative to sedentary videogame-playing kids that would not otherwise consider a healthier outlet.
