Osim Curve is an innovative health and fitness product concept that can be an ideal solution for those who want to become fit, but are unwilling to bear the hassle of tough exercises. This product can be introduced to a health-conscious yet reluctant-to-exercise person as a fun toy, as an exciting sea surfing board with the mission to catch as much fishes (the projected numbers) as they can within a preset timing. The mini light projectors have been fitted on the below surface of the board and the rider should touch the projected numbers while maintaining the balance, making exercising a playful event. Even more, it features a multiplayer mode through which the person can go for a deadly tournament with his opponent, considering that the less scorer will have to jump from the board on deep sea which surely will give the exerciser some effective motivation.
