The REVEAL team at the University of Bath is proud to introduce VibeStride, an augmented reality (AR) physical education app designed to tackle the growing disengagement of teenage girls in school PE.
📉 The Challenge: In the UK and globally, girls are significantly less physically active than boys. Research highlights key barriers, including:
🔹 Lack of choice in sports and activities
🔹 Discomfort with traditional PE uniforms
🔹 Disabilities and neurodiversity-related barriers
🔹 Low socio-economic background, limiting access to extracurricular opportunities
🎮 The VibeStride Solution:
✅ Gamified PE experience powered by AR
✅ Customisable avatars & challenges, allowing girls to shape their fitness journey
✅ Reward-based engagement, where completing challenges earns real-world high-street vouchers
✅ Co-designed with teenage girls, ensuring relevance and accessibility
By making physical education more inclusive, flexible, and fun, VibeStride aims to redefine engagement in PE and encourage lifelong healthy habits.
We’re excited to bring this innovation to schools—stay tuned for updates!
