Solo, Junior year project

Solelp combines stretching with game, giving it a sense of accomplishment through missions and points, and is entertaining through visual and sound elements. Played with the bar, mat, handles, and app, Solelp helps anyone to enjoy stretching as an exciting everyday activity.

Background

Stretching is crucial,
but ‘boring and unrewarding’.

A lot of people today experience a painful back or neck due to bad posture, and we all understand that stretching regularly is essential for good posture. However, many people usually had difficulty finding stimulation to stretch on a daily basis. Although the current process of stretching can be quite demanding in time and preparation, it doesn't give an instant reward or joy like other exercises. Therefore, in order to motivate stretching, there must be an added sense of achievement and entertainment that people can feel right away.

Solution

Game-like stretching experience.

Solelp is a home stretching device to help people enjoy stretching for better posture. Unlike other stretching mats, it uses it's bar, mat, handles, and app to interact with the users and give a sense of joy and reward.

Posture tracking
and interactive feedback

With the lidar sensors and camera on the bar, Solelp can scan the accuracy of the user’s posture. Based on this analysis, Solelp gives live feedback so that the experience is enhanced to be more active and helpful.

Touch points on mat
like arcade games

The LED screen easily guides the placement of hands and feet with touch points, and also shows simple indications to help the game such as the reamaining time and earned points.

Experience expanded
beyond the mat

The handles are separable from the bar, in an easy-grip size, emitting different colors of light when enjoying the game. With the handles, the whole experience is pushed even further as an enjoyable game, by allowing more dynamic posture checking.

The handles can be used for extra stretching poses using bands, and it also analyzes the posture and gives feedback.

The controls on the handles allow easy adjustment of volume and band tension.

& App for more inspiration.

To enhance the whole game experience, the app provides a list of routines, music, and a guide for stretching, as well as the rewards and personal missions to keep the users motivated. The overall design continues to convey the fun and energetic mood of the product.
