Pulse Dance Machine: a mobile solution to group fitness |

Based on the four-arrow North, South, East and West dance concept, the Dance Machine from Pulse allows up 32 people to play together at the same time.
The main target audience for Dance Machine tends to be children, particularly those who are disengaged from traditional sports and activities.
However, its interactive technology appeals to both children and adults alike, either as part of a standard group session or as a family activity. Pulse has also recently installed an eight-player dance mat system at an Age Concern Centre in Wolverhampton.
The simple 'plug and play' system offered by the Dance Machine is truly mobile and features a powerful, real-time, 3D graphic game engine/software.
Dance steps are projected via arrows onto a wall or screen and players follow them on foot-activated mats, which are wirelessly connected to a computer.
As well as offering the usual health benefits of an aerobic, full body workout, Dance Machine is also known to have successfully catered for groups with neurological disabilities such as dyspraxia, autism and dyslexia. It can help improve brain/body co-ordination, concentration, focus and spatial awareness.

Small Footprint, Big Significance: Studio City Water Park |
|
Long known for its fancy casinos, Macau realized within the past decade that it must
diversify its tourism scene to attract new crowds. With the ambition of becoming the
leisure hub of China’s 72-million strong Greater Bay Area, the city began adding shows,
attractions, and family-friendly hotels. But the offering that truly stands out with fun
for everyone is Studio City Water Park – Macau’s first stand-alone water park, with all
the water slides and aquatic play structures supplied by WhiteWater. |
