In this new app, Fear Running, provides the user to contain a healthy life style by just running for 20 minutes a day. This app provides a numerous list of phobias that they might have and in order to overcome those fears, the user must run from their fear. A photo of video of that object will appear on the user's device to trigger their brain that the only way to over come that object is to run. For example, if I were afraid of sharks, I would select the phobia of sharks (Selachophibia). When pressed a virtual video of a shark will show up and will start the timer on how long the user has in order to run from the shark. the device counts how many steps are taken and senses if the steps slow down which then shows the shark swimming closer towards the screen. there will be sound effects such as the theme song from "Jaws" for instance to motivate the runner. there may be chopping and biting noises to create the illusion of the shark being there with the user. The goal of this app is to help the user to not only stay fit but to over come a fear. although there may be a limit on how many phobias the app can hold, there will be enough for the user to find their fear.
