Nowadays, people are busy with gadgets, social media and playing video games that tends their bodies to physically inactive. However, Virtual Reality (VR) exergaming in literature has proven to be one of the best solutions to encourage these sedentary people to live in a healthier lifestyle. Exergaming refers to a combination of video games with a physical exercise that rely on the technology that can track body movement. Hence, this project aims to develop a cycling exergame that integrate with HTC Vive hand controller in VR. There are four phases have been carried out namely (i) problem investigation, (ii) designing the game structure, (iii) implementation of VR cycling exergame, and (iv) testing and evaluation. The usability testing results shows the users feedback on the development of VR Exergame for cycling in terms of the user interface design, player interaction, difficulty of the game and user satisfaction in understanding the game. The user acceptance testing results shows that this game works accordingly, however there are some suggestion and expectation from user that can be measured for improvement and enhancement in future works. Based on the result, this project is successfully produced a cycling exergame in VR and significantly improve the user experience in VR.
From the basic motion of a simple pendulum, which acts as a tool that turns a blank canvas into pure abstract art, this particular concept has been applied to science-related art to showcase its tremendous impact on scientific, psychological and educational fields. The Art and Science Program is a collaborative artistic program between the committees from the Chemical and Energy School of Engineering, UTM, and Sekolah Tun Fatimah (STF), with the aim of examining the impacts of the rotational motion of the pendulum which can generate mesmerizing art on blank mahjong papers. The outcome of the art has been influenced by various factors, such as the viscosity of the paint used, the flowrate of the paint drip, the velocity of the paintpendulum-modelled dripper, the position of the release point, and the motion of the dripper arising from the resultant force of multiple interacting forces. By showing the interconnections between pendulum motion, gravitational force, potential and kinetic energies, and the fundamentals of fluid dynamics, artistic abstract paintings can be created from the science of mechanics. Intertwining the arts and sciences that has been the main focus of this program can garner greater appreciation, even embraced, as it results in a significant effect on the development of both creative and critical thinking among the participants and committees.
Exciting movies are films with components that can affect a person's psychology and emotions including towards children. The Harry Potter movie is basically a show aimed at children after being adapted from a novel. It is about a world that full of magic and beautiful personalities that even adults are amazed by the links made between the minute details within every scene. However, there are several different opinions related to the story that say that the story has either a negative or positive effect on the children. This research was done to analyse the relationship between element of concrete operational concept and the impactful scene from one of Harry Potter movie, which is Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone(2001). This research uses qualitative approach to answer all the research objectives with applying the method of descriptive analysis and focus on the materials collection based on phenomenally recorded news and feed backs from public as well as the support with authors, newspapers, journal, and other sources. Also, the cognitive operational concept by Jean Piaget’s cognitive development theory is use in this research to draw the conclusion at the end of the study. Thus, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) can be watched by the children especially children under the age of 7 until 11 years old after analyzing through each scene and relate it with the theory mentioned above.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
