Read full article: iGym levels playing field for disabled, able-bodied childrenThe technology, called iGYM, allows people with mobility disabilities and their non-disabled peers to exercise together in a fun environment. In one game — a cross between soccer and air hockey — as players enter the court, a virtual circle appears around them and that circle moves with them as they traverse the arena. “It is fun to hit a ball around,” said Darren, who smiled widely throughout several games with his brother. The technology is a one-of-a-kind, said iGYM creator Roland Graf, a professor at the University of Michigan Stamps School of Art & Design and a media artist, designer and inventor. iGYM exists only as a research prototype, and Graf and his team are looking for partners to help bring their project to the market.
