Small-Scale Exertion in Sports Video Games SMALL-SCALE EXERTION IN SPORTS VIDEO GAMES A Thesis Submitted to the College of Graduate Studies and Research In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Master of Science In the Department of Computer Science University of Saskatchewan Saskatoon, CANADA By Mike Sheinin Copyright Mike Sheinin, March, 2015.

The translation of real-world physical activities to a game controller and the emphasis on statistical simulations in traditional sports video games leads to a limited opportunity for expertise development, individual differentiation, and fatigue. These are three very important aspects of real-world sports that are lacking in sports video games. One possible solution to these difficulties is to use small-scale exertion. This method requires the design of an input mechanic that requires only the use of hands and fingers (or feet). We created two small- scale exertion sports video games (Track and Field Racing and Jelly Polo) and ran four studies to compare our small-scale exertion games to traditional rate-based sports video games. Qualitative and quantitative results suggest that using small-scale exertion increases the amount of expertise development, individual differentiation, and fatigue in sports video games. Results also suggest small-scale exertion controls are more engaging than traditional rate-based controls. By using small-scale exertion to add physicality into sports video games, we are able to increase richness, competitiveness, and realism in order to create a game which is competitive, in terms of player skill, and sport-like. ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my gratitude to my supervisor Carl Gutwin for his guidance and input throughout my graduate and undergraduate career at the University of Saskatchewan. If it was not for Carl, my research, undergraduate degree, and overall life path would be drastically different. I am sincerely thankful for everything he has done for me. I also wish to thank David Flatla for introducing me to the world of Computer Science and starting me on this journey. If it was not for your enthusiasm and guidance, I would not be where I am today. A big thank you also goes to the faculty and staff at the Department of Computer Science, and particularly to the students and staff in the HCI Lab for their much needed help and what are sure to be lifelong friendships. iii This thesis is dedicated to my mother Tracey, and my father Randy; it is your love and support that has allowed me to succeed. iv CONTENTS PERMISSION TO USE I ABSTRACT II

    Guide to increasing exhibition ROI - Case Electronic Arts and Digiexpo Juho Virkajärvi Bachelor’s Thesis Degree Programme in Interna- tional Business 2015 Author(s) Juho Virkajärvi Degree programme GloBBA11K Report/thesis title Number of pages Guide to increasing exhibition ROI. Case Electronic Arts and Di- and appendix pages giexpo 30 The purpose of this thesis was to create a guide for the commissioning company, Elec- tronic Arts, on how to increase the return on investment for the game company’s participa- tion at the Digiexpo exhibition. This was done by analysing Electronic Arts’ 2013 and 2014 Digiexpo participations. Based on the results, the aim was to come up with suggestions for improving future participations. The framework is based on The Global Association of the Exhibition Industry’s publication: The role of Exhibitions in the Marketing Mix. The main focus was in the analysis of exhibi- tions and ROI with an addition of customer relationship marketing. The research method used was qualitative. Included in the research was data from the ex- hibition organizer, observations from the previous two years participations and financial data. The guide for increasing exhibition ROI was created based on the analysis of this data. The results of the analysis were that more data collection methods should be implemented to better evaluate the success of the exhibition. The data currently available cannot pro- duce accurate results and cannot be used effectively. Furthermore a more active presence during the exhibition is recommended for increased customer satisfaction. As a conclusion it can be said that exhibition participation for companies in the gaming in- dustry is a very good opportunity to leverage the chance to promote upcoming or recently released game titles in a semi-controlled environment at a relatively low cost.
