Child Obesity Control Through Computer Game

Due to urban life style and nuclear family culture, overweight or obesity becomes an epidemic for the future generation, i.e. children. Due to fast lifestyle parents have not enough time to play with their children. As a consequence children are addicted with TV programs or computer games to fulfil their fantasy. The future generation of the society is not at all interested on the physical exercise, which causes the obesity, because extra calorie is deposited on the fat cells. This game addiction cannot be removed. The objective of this work is to control child overweight or obesity by means of introducing physical activity into computer or video game. The proposed system achieved 96% accuracy for the test sets used to test this system.
