Fitzania

Fitzania combined an immersive game with a preventative-medicine check-up at the Museum of Future Government Services. The orb vibrates to acknowledge a successful log-in as you lift it from the pedestal; stepping into the game space, you complete a series of spatial alignments increasing in speed and difficulty. As you position the orb in 3D space, its sensors read your biometric signals, provide an on-the-spot diagnosis, and update your fitness profile. When the tests are complete, you return the orb and receive a prescription tailored to your needs.

We collaborated with exhibition creative and production director Tellart on the research, technology, and design. We wanted citizens to return regularly for fitness tests, so we built the analysis and diagnosis into the game. Fitzania's tracking system uses Halo retro-reflective coating on each orb; sensors determine its precise location in three-dimensional space and map its movement into a virtual area extending beyond the physical walls.
