The Xavix Port is an electronic device that plugs into any television (or into DVD players or VCRs of older televisions) and becomes a gaming console.

It is a sensor that detects the motion of the player, calculates it, and processes it to be viewed on the screen. With this technology you can track your individual progress to see if your activity level has increased or decreased as well as setting goals.

This type of technology can be useful in a physical education setting because it allows students to personalize their own fitness plans. It caters to the individual student’s need and helps guide them in the right direction to stay on target. This can help students visualize their goals and understand the ways to achieve them. They will feel a sense of ownership because they have their own statistics.
