Wu Qin is an innovative virtual reality game that blends the ancient Chinese Five-Animal Exercises with emerging technology to promote physical well-being. This game is designed to combat the growing concern of sedentary lifestyles, by providing a fun and engaging way to exercise. Through VR, players mimic the movements of five animals - the tiger, deer, bear, monkey, and bird - each offering unique health benefits. Wu Qin is more than just a game; it's a cultural journey that makes fitness enjoyable and accessible, encouraging users to embrace a more active lifestyle.
