StepUI

Motivation:

  1. The CDC estimates that 65% of U.S. adults over 20 are either overweight or obese.
  2. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends 60 minutes of physical exercise on most days.
  3. Experts recommend breaks from the keyboard to prevent RSI

We�ve created applications that can be controlled using a dance pad instead of the keyboard or mouse. We have StepMail which allows you to read, delete and flag your email and StepPhoto which allows you to organize your photos. Using these applications is fun, helps reduce RSI, and gets you up out of your chair.
