Concept Instruction
First we find the people have the same interests and live in the same residential buildings. At this time we chose the people who want to do fitness. So they are the same type of target users. We set a piece of landscape around the buildings looks like a group of dandelions. One dandelion represents one user. When some users doing fitness at home, their energy will be transferred to the dandelion.
The dandelion will outspread and make beautiful lights. This means their owners are energetic and fond of exercising. The other neighbors who also have interest in doing fitness will like to join in this activity. The Infection will stay beautiful for a couple of days, so it encourage users insisting on doing fitness. When users do not do fitness for a long time, the dandelions will decline fade.
