Admin: Meeting 3 Summary

Attendants:

Ashley Harris
Elliot Hyde
Mark Mitchell
John Saunt

Apologies:

Adele Tyler - twisted her ankle and was unable to attend university.

It was decided that the team should branch out into new ideas at this early point in time, rather than focus solely on the Sports Training tool, until we had met and discussed our ideas with either Russell or one of the demonstrators.

As Adele was absent and she was the main person behind the healthy eating idea, the team struggled to create a concrete idea about the subject. However, some interesting ideas came out of the meeting regarding a particular tool for healthy eating:

  1. A virtual world designed to be interactive and education for children; using the technologies as Nicktropolis and CBBC's Virtual World.
  2. A portable device (most likely a device strapped to the child so they don't lose it) that could monitor the child's food intake based on a non-intrusive tool, i.e testing body sweat or saliva to see what the child has eaten - then giving that child feedback and education.
