Stay fit during COVID-19, a study using interactive jogging application (JOGA)

Abstract

Fitness and keeping a balanced lifestyle are an important aspect in our daily lives. Being healthy will allow us to conduct our daily activities in a more productive manner. However, it is sidelined by the fact the people now a days are mostly busy with their work and other things, added the fact of the lack of motivation to conduct the physical activities, lead to people not having a balanced life. For that reason, the aim of the developed application is to provide users with an immersive and interactive jogging application which will help in motivating the user into wanting to conduct fitness activities. The interactivity is provided by implementing Geofencing technique, which is by generating a parameter around certain coordinates which when entered by a device will create certain events such as sending notification or directing to a different page. While the immersiveness aspect is implemented using Augmented Reality, which is where a 3D model is anchored into a certain plane which can be seen by using the mobile phones rear camera. The Rapid Development Life Cycle (RDLC) have been chosen as the methodology for the development of the application because it allows developer to iteratively change the system requirements during the development and presentation phase. Functionality testing have been conducted to the developed application.
