The users are families, including parents and children during their childhood. They are constantly anxious about life, work, and school, leading to varying degrees of family crises. However, parents and children lack communication and mutual understanding. Children's early understanding of emotions is very limited, and they may not understand or even ignore their parents' emotions. The core concept is to understand and alleviate the crisis of family emotional anxiety and teach children to correctly identify and use emotions. Parents may feel overwhelmed by various pressures and find it difficult to provide for their families. In this AR game, parents' stress levels power an "emotion bar," with warning blocks representing family crises. Children use AR to strengthen the bar and learn to identify and manage emotions to alleviate or resolve these crises. Parents, on the other hand, gain a deeper understanding of their children and promote family harmony. Augmented reality technology is implemented to allow users to experience virtual games in the real world, making the game locations more random and diverse, and allowing games to be played safely at home or anywhere.
