 The European Project Semester (EPS) offers students with engineering and other backgrounds a chance to work together on a project at a partner university of their schools. The EPS project provides a unique opportunity for students of different nationalities and study backgrounds to work together and combine their skills and knowledge to produce a unique and realistic result/solution to a relevant challenge. The project provides an environment similar to what it would be in the real work field when having to collaborate with different people, and offers the chance to learn from each other. The European Project Semester (EPS) offers students with engineering and other backgrounds a chance to work together on a project at a partner university of their schools.

 The project is completed under scientific supervision for the duration of one semester. This project outcome was created at the “Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto” also called "ISEP" by the following team of students, table {{ref>tlabel1}}. The project is completed under scientific supervision for the duration of one semester.

 After considering all the pros and cons per sub topic, it was decided to focus on creating a type of interactive game, because it was thought that it would encourage more interaction between people than the other sub-topics as competition can be introduced. It is also a more inclusive option and can be made applicable for all ages, languages and backgrounds, as it would not require specific sport or musical skills. Introducing a type of game to play with or against each other has a high chance of attracting the participation of people. After considering all the pros and cons per sub topic, it was decided to focus on creating a type of interactive game, because it was thought that it would encourage more interaction between people than the other sub-topics as competition can be introduced.

 Initially, a list was made with all the materials and components that would eventually be needed but ISEP had alternatives to some of them, so some components were replaced for the ones ISEP gave, making the final price reducing a lot. Initially, a list was made with all the materials and components that would eventually be needed but ISEP had alternatives to some of them, so some components were replaced for the ones ISEP gave, making the final price reducing a lot.

 Each type of sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of sensor will depend on factors such as accuracy, cost, and complexity. Whatever the sensor type chosen, the data collected from the sensors can be processed by a microcontroller or single board computer, and communicated to the screen for display. Each type of sensor has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of sensor will depend on factors such as accuracy, cost, and complexity.
