THE WOBBLEX
(GROUP PROJECT)
THE BRIEF
Increase physical activity levels in 18-25-year-olds with Down Syndrome in a way that is engaging and enjoyable.
THE SOLUTION
WobbleX is a play-based intervention to encourage physical activity for individuals with Down Syndrome. It combines specialised VR and physical exercise equipment to produce an immersive experience without sensory overload. It specifically targets balance and motor skills through object play.

SKILLS REQUIRED
MY CONTRIBUTION
For this project, I took on the role of the human interface and graphic designer. I designed our website (use QR code; designed for the computer) alongside an app prototype and managed/designed the overall graphics for our documentation and models. Thus, maintaining a streamlined design aesthetic across the group members work. I was also in charge of our user research and human-centred design exploration.

JOURNEY MAP
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The user stands on the wobble board and is instructed to duck and lean through the gamified VR, increasing core strength and balance. There are interchangeable rollers to decrease or increase the stability as needed. The product is also available to purchase through Physio Therapists, who work hand in hand to design specialised programs suited to the user's capabilities. Thus, increasing their overall safety and producing milestones to work towards, enhancing their motivation.
