Pelien liikeohjaus on viime vuosien aikana yleistynyt, kun Wii, PlayStation 3 ja Xbox 360 ovat tuoneet liikeohjauksen perinteisen peliohjaimella tapahtuvan ohjauksen rinnalle. Liikeohjattava pelaaminen eroaa kuitenkin sormien liikkeisiin ja painikkeiden painalluksiin perustuvasta perinteisestä peliohjain-ohjauksesta huomattavasti, joten pelien suunnittelussa on otettava huomioon erilaisia asioita. Tutkielman tavoitteena on luoda heuristiikat liikeohjattavien pelien suunnitteluun ja arviointiin tarkastelemalla liikeohjattavaan pelaamiseen liittyviä ongelmia. Näitä liikeohjaukseen liittyviä ongelmia ja kokemuksia kerättiin useista eri Internet-sivustojen julkaisemista peliarvosteluista. Tarkastelun kohteena oli joukko Move- ja Kinect-pelejä, joissa pelin ohjaus tapahtuu liikeohjauksella joko liikeohjainta käyttäen tai ilman ohjainta. Peliarvosteluista kerätyt ongelmat jaettiin 13 eri ryhmään, jossa kukin ryhmä edustaa jotakin tiettyä liikeohjaukseen liittyvää ongelmatyyppiä. Näiden ongelmatyyppien perusteella luotiin vastaava määrä heuristiikkoja viihdekäyttöön suunnattujen liikeohjattavien pelien suunnitteluun ja arviointiin. Tulosten perusteella liikeohjattavien pelien suunnittelussa tulisi kiinnittää huomiota pelissä suoritettavien liikkeiden monipuolisuuteen, niiden aiheuttamaan fyysiseen väsymykseen, liikkeiden haasteellisuuteen, todenmukaisuuteen, liikkeiden suorittamiseen liittyvään ohjeistukseen, liikkeiden suorittamisesta annettavaan palautteeseen, liikkeiden tunnistukseen, liikeohjauksen herkkyyteen ja tarkkuuteen, pelin tahtiin, moninpelaamiseen liikeohjauksella sekä pelitilan asettamiseen. Avainsanat ja -sanonnat: arviointi, heuristiikat, käytettävyys, liikeohjattavat pelit, pelattavuus, suunnittelu. ii Sisällys 1.

Perinteisten peliohjainten, näppäimistöjen ja hiirten käytön rinnalle on syntynyt aktiivisempi tapa pelien pelaamiseen – liikeohjattava pelaaminen. Kodin sohvilta on siirrytty television eteen pelaamisen tapahtuessa istumisen sijaan seisaaltaan. Pelistä ja pelikonsolista riippuen pelaaja voi ohjata peliä koko vartalon tai tietyn vartalon osan liikkeitä käyttäen. Liikeohjaus voi perustua jonkin tietyn liikeohjaimen käyttöön tai se voi tapahtua ilman minkäänlaista fyysistä ohjainta. Liikeohjattava pelaaminen oli alkujaan mahdollista muun muassa tanssipelien, kuten tanssimattoa hyödyntävän Dance Dance Revolutionin ja pelaajan vartalon liikkeet tunnistavan PlayStation 2 -pelikonsolin EyeToy-kameran avulla, mutta vasta Nintendon vuonna 2006 julkaisema Wii-pelikonsoli toi liikeohjattavat pelit suuremman yleisön tietoisuuteen. Wiin menestyksen myötä myös Sony toi markkinoille Move- liikeohjaimen PlayStation 3 -pelikonsolille ja Microsoft sitä vastoin ohjaimettoman pelaamistavan mahdollistavan Kinectin Xbox 360 -pelikonsolille.

Active video games, active gaming, interactive games, movement-controlled video games, exertion games, and exergaming are terms used to define the kinds of video games in which the exertion interface enables a new experience. Exergames have added a component of physical activity to the otherwise motionless video game environment and have the potential to contribute to physical education classes by supplementing the current activity options and increasing student enjoyment. The use of exergames in schools has already shown positive results in the past through their potential to fight obesity. As for the pedagogical aspects of exergames, they have attracted educators’ attention due to the large number of games and activities that can be incorporated into the curriculum. In this way, the school must consider the development of a new physical education curriculum in which the key to promoting healthy physical activity in children and youth is enjoyment, using video games as a tool.

    Exergames - Jogos Sérios para Promover o Exercício Físico LENIKER MANUEL DA CONCEIÇÃO GOMES Outubro de 2015 Exergames - Jogos Sérios para Promover o Exercício Físico Leniker Manuel da Conceição Gomes Dissertação para obtenção do Grau de Mestre em Engenharia Informática, Área de Especialização em Sistemas Gráficos e Multimédia Orientador: Doutor Carlos Miguel Miranda Vaz de Carvalho Júri: Presidente: Vogais: Porto, Outubro de 2015 ii Resumo As novas tecnologias, em particular os meios de entretimento digital, oferecem diferentes soluções de interação para que as pessoas se possam divertir. O elevado (e crescente) número de jogos digitais disponíveis no mercado permitiu o aparecimento de um novo tipo de jogos digitais, os jogos sérios, com uma finalidade menos lúdica. O intuito desses jogos é usar as caraterísticas associadas aos jogos normais, mas direcioná-los para uma finalidade séria. Assim, além de divertir o utilizador estes jogos também possibilitam a transmissão de informação e conhecimento que de outra forma não teria o mesmo impacto, por falta de interesse e menor motivação dos utilizadores. Exergames são jogos digitais utilizados para o desenvolvimento pessoal como o propósito de melhorar o bem-estar das pessoas quer a nível físico quer a nível mental. Esses jogos requerem que partes do corpo estejam em constante movimento, sendo que alguns utilizam dispositivos de rastreio de movimentos do corpo como forma de interação com os sistemas. Os exergames são o foco desta tese, com uma análise das suas potencialidades e das diferentes áreas possíveis para a sua aplicabilidade. São analisados diferentes tipos de exergames consoante o dispositivo que irá permitir a utilização do jogo.

  • Exploring the Kinect's Ability to Create Immersive Experiences
    Exploring the Kinect’s Ability to Create Immersive Experiences Jerome Morrison New Media Studio M.A. Morrison 2 Abstract Can the Kinect be used to create an immersive experience? Many consumers see the Kinect as still in its infancy, and not yet able to offer a truly immersive experience. However, current trends in technology suggest that devices are moving away from physical peripherals, such a keyboard and mouse, and towards a Natural User Interface (NUI). This project is an explo- ration of how to utilize the Kinect to create a more sophisticated immersive experience, that can’t be replicated with traditional peripherals. The development for the interactive experiment has included, modeling, texturing, materials, animation, scripting, and visual programming. Through the use of the Kinect’s ability to track a user’s head location, and using that information to modify an in-game camera in real time, I have been able to create a sense of parallax with a projected virtual environment. Combin- ing this with an engaging character that challenges the user to reflect on their relationship with media and cues the user to perform specific physical actions which it responds to, the user will be engaged. By placing this character within an optical illusion known as Pepper’s Ghost, where an image projected onto glass appears to float in midair, I have discovered a means of utilizing the Kinect to create an immersive experience. Morrison 3 The introduction of a consumer based Natural User Interface (NUI) such as Microsoft’s Ki- nect is a sign of the technological evolution of computer-human interfaces.

  • Anthropomorphic Machines: Alien Sensation and Experience in Nonhumans Created to Be Like Us
    Anthropomorphic machines: alien sensation and experience in nonhumans created to be like us by Tessa Gwendoline Leach ORCID 0000-0002-0560-7667 Doctor of Philosophy (Arts) June 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Studies This thesis is submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree i Abstract This thesis is positioned at the intersection between technology studies and the nonhuman turn in the humanities. It argues that typical approaches to the study of technology omit any consideration of the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience. The discussion of metaphysical theory aimed at redressing this omission is grounded in this thesis in the study of specific case studies of anthropomorphic machines, objects which are typically surrounded by human-centric rhetoric. There are four main case studies presented. The first, the Microsoft Kinect for Xbox One, is a sensor designed for use in videogames. The second is the “robot tortoises” (Machina speculatrix) designed by William Grey Walter in the 1940s and 50s. The third is the language- using artificial intelligence program SHRDLU developed by Terry Winograd between 1968 and 1972. The fourth is the concept of the gynoid (female humanoid robot) and particularly the gynoid sexbot. Each of these case studies has previously been analysed in Science and Technology Studies, Cultural Studies or Engineering, and this thesis builds on this past work by giving primacy and due consideration to the alien in these anthropomorphic technologies. The thesis aims to decentre the anthropomorphic qualities of machines that are often foregrounded in both engineering and critical texts. This is done both by emphasising the alien nature of nonhuman sensation and experience, and through anthrodecentric theory and language.
