Cover Story: Balance and coordination skills are critical for children aged 4–8, as they improve motor abilities, build confidence, and lower injury risks. However, limited resources in school health and physical education programmes often impede comprehensive training, prompting efforts to explore innovative solutions to these issues. Researchers at Federation University have developed a projection-based Augmented Reality exergame prototype. A projector projects the game onto a wall, while a depth-tracking camera tracks children’s limb movement. Participants earn points by interacting with virtual objects using the correct limb while maintaining balance. Nineteen children aged 4–9 evaluated the prototype, providing valuable feedback on its usability, engagement, and interactivity to guide further refinement. View this paper
