Real World Problem 🌎

In today's fast-paced world, many people struggle to maintain strong social connections, especially when living far from loved ones. Additionally, an increasing number of individuals spend too much time on sedentary gaming, lacking the physical activity needed for a healthy lifestyle. Urban environments often offer limited space and time for outdoor recreation, further reducing opportunities for exercise and social bonding.

Proposed Solution💡

Our proposed solution is the VR Multiplayer Golf Game,an immersive and interactive platform that brings people together virtually, no matter where they are in the world. With realistic golf mechanics and smart hardware components like a golf stick, VR headset, and wrist-worn sensor, players engage in physical activity while enjoying social interaction.
The game is designed not just for entertainment, but to promote movement, communication, and wellbeing.

Potential Impact 🚀

Our solution offers a dual benefit: it strengthens long-distance relationships and encourages physical movement during gameplay. By combining the popularity of gaming with exercise, it helps users stay active and socially connected.
In the long term, this can contribute to better mental and physical health, reduce screen-time-induced health issues like obesity, and promote a more balanced lifestyle in tech-driven societies.
