(ARFIT) - Development of mobile application of functional elderly exercise by using augmented reality / Mohamad Ariff Ramli

The project is about development of Augmented Reality mobile application for elderly people who want to learn about exercise that can keep their fitness. There are several problems that lead to the development of this project which is the number of elderlies is expected to get higher in the future and they commonly faced the problem of joint inflammation which called as arthritis problem. Also, there are less focus given by developer of mobile application in developing an application that suitable with elderly people. The objectives of developing this project identify the requirement, to design and to develop the development of ARFit mobile application for elderly by using Augmented Reality technology. The scope of this project is focusing on elderly aged 60 years old and above that want to learn about exercise through Augmented Reality technology as it can be an interactive approach to elderly. As the application is focusing on stretching exercise, elderly people will be taught on how to do a proper arm stretching and leg stretching. The limitations of the application are only focused on arm and leg stretching not a full body stretching and only use single language to provide information. The methodology used in developing this project is Rapid Application Development (RAD). This project gives significant value to the elderly people as they can learn about exercise leisurely and it consumed less effort and money to do the exercise. Besides, fitness trainer is significant with this project as they will know what the suitable exercise for elderly people and can give more focus to the elderly in the future.
