  • Abstract
    The purpose of this study is to develop a device that combines exercise and entertainment. Therefore, we developed an application and the driving device to visualize the energy consumption during exercise. The first experiment utilizes the smart phone; the second experiment utilizes the action of jumping rope, handgrip, or playing a Kendama. The result of the test is that the driving devices responded correctly to the shaking or sound input of the smart phone, as well as the jumping rope action, handgrip action, or Kendama action.
