Abstract

In general, children dislike cutting the hair. The causative factors can be: the noise caused by the machine, being motionless for a long time, etc. The various movements caused by children hinder the work of the hairdresser. For this reason, this project aims to make an application for the distraction of the child, during the haircut, achieving their concentration in the game. The interactive application is based on the magic mirror technology. Interviews, evaluations and tests were conducted to collect data and verify the need for its creation.  The prototype was evaluated with the participation of various children. The results of the evaluation were positive allowing concluding that the children when interacting with the mirror focused their attention on the game.
