Mygi - Family Play System

Mygi is a family play system consisting of six games and corresponding game consoles. It promotes trusting family relationships by empowering emotional connections and brings meaningful playtime back. The games are: Balance Me, Mood Flow, Shadow Play, Go Yoga, Fusion Rhythm, and Let's Roleplay. Each game lasts about 15 minutes and supports remote play, enabling families in long-distance relationships to play together, and building a bridge between different age groups.

How Mygi Gaming System Works:
The families need to link the game console with the Mygi app on the device before playing. Once each family member is connected, the app will synchronize their game information. The Mygi app and game consoles will be auxiliaries to enable users to play and interact with families even remotely.

- Balance Me: It helps the family recognize the negative emotions and balance them with fun activities.
- Mood Flow: It empowers the family to express emotion through creating their mood music and sharing. - Shadow Play: It enhances the family's cooperation and communication ability by making hand shadows together.
- Go Yoga!: It helps the family promotes balance and flexibility by cooperating in the yoga game together. - Fusion Rhythm: It helps the family enhance left and right brain cooperation by playing the rhythm with both hands.
