With this in mind, we hope to build a platform that does not bore the user with health facts about washing their hands but instead tricks them into completing the hand washing process in the healthiest way possible while secretly completing each step of the CDC hand washing guidelines.
To do this, the games must first be fun. To us, it won't take much to do this because in the mind of the user, seeing a game appear behind a mirror that's played by washing your hands will get even the most unhealthy person curious to try it.
Inside this fun game we will attempt to use the screen graphics and interface to take the user through each CDC handwashing step without them even knowing it.
The CDC handwashing steps we are following can be found here.
After we find a good direction with these ideas, we are hoping to one day make a kit that can be installed in any bathroom that occupies a monitor behind its mirror.(airports, hospitals, etc..)
Example of long-term goal.
But for now we will concentrate on making an in-class interactive installation displaying all the aspects of the game that I previously listed. We are very excited!
Team Update!
Matt is working on some code to get our main mechanics down using placeholder graphics. Josh is working on the interactive steps users will need to take to play the game. He is also working on the first game idea which Brice will be concepting art for. Sarah is introducing herself to Leap Motion which we may use as our main sensor.
More updates to come!
