New free iPhone application helps burn calories

A team from the University of Houston has come up with a free iPhone application that helps burn calories and keep track of progress.

Walk n’ Play allows players to compete in real time against another iPhone user or against a simulator, and watch the calories burn off as they go about their everyday walking.

The application was designed by a team of researchers from UH’s Computational Physiology Lab, led by Ioannis Pavlidis, who is Eckhard Pfeiffer Professor of Computer Science and the lab’s director. Co-developers include post-doctoral researcher Pradeep Buddharaju and doctoral student Yuichi Fujiki. Ergun Akleman from Texas A&M University designed the game’s cartoon characters.

The application is available free at the iPhone app store.
