This is an interesting project aimed for new parents of infants in age 6 to 20 months. I didn't think that this project could be so useful, but parents, who helped me to test this application, really liked it. The whole idea is very simple. All people who are going to have a baby or at least think about that idea are afraid, if they are good parents or not and they try to read and study everything about babies. Finally, they have that baby, they take care of it, they feed it and make everything the best. Hovewer, they are not really happy, when it is crying or refusing the food and they are afraid of the baby's health. This project is for these parents to help them answer many questions and try different feeding situations with the virtual baby.

So just imagine that you need some advise what to improve in feeding of your child. Your baby is sleeping and you have short time to relax. You can sit down, turn on your computer, take a wii remote controller with nunchuck, set up a similar feeding scenario as you have at home and mood of the virtual baby model and you can play, try to feed it and receive a feedback from the computer. Isn't it a nice idea?

This is what my PhD research is about. I'm creating this lovely virtual environment to help parents. I spent quit a lot of time by observing children during the lunchtime in the nursery.  I created a cartoon model of the baby and now I'm trying to animate it and make the application as good as possible. I think it's worthy just because of parents' happy faces during the testing.
