A Brand New Sense (BraNeS) aims to create a digital tool that makes movement fun and aids creative expression and intergenerational exchange within the user's home setting and/or community environments. Just like anyone else, when they exercise, old people experience important health benefits. They are able to move better, accomplish daily and routine tasks easier and experience a positive shift in their mood. However, a major challenge is how to get people to become active in a way that they enjoy. Research has shown that a combination of movement and music is enjoyable, and people are more likely to adhere to exercise programmes that involve music. Studies have also shown that the social dimension of physical activity is an important factor of enjoyment. BraNeS explores the use of movement sonification as a form of physical activity that combines creative expression and social interaction. Movement sonification is the synchronous production of sound and movement through a digital device. It is an emerging practice which, on the on hand, is spreading within youth and music subcultures through new products aimed at primarily young audiences. It is also being tested within health and clinical settings for the treatment of health conditions and/or the improvement of physical performance. Through developing an existing prototype, BraNeS capitalises on this trend, in order to develop an intuitive, affordable and accessible tool that can be used in the user's living environment and increase mobility, aid creative expression and encourage intergenerational social interaction.

一种全新的感觉（BraNeS）旨在创建一种数字工具，使运动变得有趣，并有助于在用户的家庭环境和/或社区环境中进行创造性表达和代际交流。就像其他人一样，当他们锻炼时，老年人会体验到重要的健康益处。他们能够更好地移动，更容易地完成日常和例行任务，并体验到情绪的积极转变。然而，一个主要挑战是如何让人们以他们喜欢的方式变得活跃。研究表明，运动和音乐的结合是令人愉快的，人们更有可能坚持涉及音乐的锻炼计划。研究还表明，体育活动的社会层面是享受的一个重要因素。BraNeS探索了将运动发声作为一种结合创造性表达和社会互动的身体活动形式的使用。运动发声是通过数字设备同步产生声音和运动。这是一种新兴的做法，一方面，通过主要针对年轻观众的新产品，正在青年和音乐亚文化中传播。它还在健康和临床环境中进行测试，用于治疗健康状况和/或改善身体状况。通过开发现有的原型，BraNeS利用这一趋势，开发出一种直观、经济实惠、易于使用的工具，可用于用户的生活环境，增加移动性，帮助创造性表达，鼓励代际社会互动。
