Brushing Teeth with a Computer Game

Posted by Dr. Teeth 12 February, 2008 (1) Comment

Scientists have come up with a novel idea to encourage kids to brush their teeth properly.

They’ve created a game with a webcam and basic software similar to a Nintendo Wii.

The ‘Playful Toothbrush’ is the brainchild of scientists at Taiwan University and aims to aid the tiresome task faced by dental professionals and parents everywhere – getting children to brush their teeth effectively.

With the average five year old brushing only a quarter of their teeth, the ‘learning through play’ approach may prove a winner.

LED modules containing three LEDs are mounted onto one end of the toothbrush and a web camera, mounted onto a bathroom mirror, can track this.

The camera uses computer software to track the movements of the toothbrush.

This information is fed as an input into the computer, which displays a game that the scientists have developed.

This is a preview of Brushing Teeth with a Computer Game.
