The “Smart Coaching and Tourism Platform” (The Platform) is a virtual training platform with instant feedback designed to encourage the elderly and students to exercise more.

The health of the elderly has drawn significant attention in the community, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic over the past three years. The elderly are the most vulnerable group, and many have died due to COVID-19 infections. Both the government and the healthcare sector are seeking solutions to enhance the health of older adults. Similarly, students have reduced their outdoor and sports activities during lockdown periods.

To address these issues, our team has designed the “Smart Coaching and Tourism Platform” for the elderly and students to exercise and enjoy tourist attractions simultaneously. Unlike other training platforms, participants can play an AR football game with the goal of protecting the Big Buddha, receiving instant feedback on their performance. For example, users can learn about the angle and intensity of their exercises. This data will be helpful for caretakers, therapists, and coaches to formulate exercise and rehabilitation programs.

Since many people are unable to travel due to physical constraints or lockdowns caused by COVID-19, we have incorporated VR 360 tour videos into the training platform to make exercising more enjoyable.
