In this game, children control the movement of the game character by leaning their heads to catch falling foods on a plate. Catching different foods will gain or lose corresponding fitness points. Once children catch healthy foods, there are different AR food effects appear on the children faces. Through the interactive experience and game incentive mechanism, Food Face prompts children to form positive minds of eating organic food and control their intake of unhealthy food.
Catching healthy organic food, like vegetables and fruits, will gain fitness points. While catching junk food, like fried food and high-sugar food, will lose the points. Children will win the game when they gain enough fitness points to build a strong body. On the contrary, catching and eating too much unhealthier junk food will lose the game.
