  • PS Move API: a Cross-Platform 6Dof Tracking Framework
    PS Move API: A Cross-Platform 6DoF Tracking Framework Thomas Perl∗ Benjamin Venditti† Hannes Kaufmann‡ Interactive Media Systems Group University of Technology Vienna ABSTRACT With the introduction of 6DoF motion controllers for game con- soles, low cost hardware for 3D interaction became widely avail- able. However, no fully-featured software solution for 6DoF track- ing exists that takes advantage of the PlayStation (PS) Move Motion Controller without additional hardware. We designed, developed and evaluated a library - the PS Move API - that enables developers to use the PS Move Motion Controller as 6DoF input device in combination with a camera. Initially we solved hardware related problems such as pairing and communi- cation over USB and Bluetooth. In this paper we describe how we perform visual tracking and sensor fusion, combining visual and in- ertial data. Performance results show that multiple controllers can be tracked simultaneously in real time. Figure 1: Interacting with existing applications using the PS Move Developers using the library can choose between a low-level C API or higher-level abstractions in Python, Java, C# or the Pro- cessing framework. The library is open source, has been devel- oped and tested on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux, and is re- The PS Move Controller has been designed to work with the leased under a Simplified BSD License.

(2016). New generation console game technologies; console game application supported with projection mapping. Global Journal of Arts Education. 6(4), 120-125 Received July 17, 2016 revised September 11, 2016; accepted November 7, 2016. Selection and peer review under responsibility of Prof. Dr. Ayse Cakir Ilhan, Ankara University, Turkey. ©2016 SciencePark Research, Organization & Counseling. All rights reserved Abstract Up to now the relationship between console games and gamers has been restricted by limitations in screen size. The gradual enlargement of these sizes has accommodated for a technological boom in the development of game software programs, some of which have been hugely successful and had broad repercussions across both the gaming and technological landscape. In 2010, Microsoft and their Kinect team released an advertisement using projection mapping technique, which gave users an exciting preview of the future of game technology and provided inspiration for aspiring young game developers. With the help of new techniques, developers had the chance to produce artistically unique projects by creating a variety of different game experiences. Additionally, the enhancement of digital games, their interactive features, and the enlargement of the screens enabled users to experience a completely new level of immersion in their games. Each new development within the industry allows for new avenues of exploration and provides the potential to further refine and enhance successful techniques.

Sin embargo, ¿cómo son los modelos de negocio en eSports? ¿Y cuál es el rol de ESL en el desarrollo de CS:GO? Esta tesis analiza el modelo de negocio del organizador de torneos ESL mediante la herramienta Business Model Canvas (BMC). El énfasis está en cuatro importantes building blocks: propuesta de valor (value proposition, VP), segmentos de clientes (customer segments, CS), socios clave (key partners, KP) y flujos de ingresos (revenue streams, R$). La autora explora los stakeholders de los eSports, y describe fuentes secundarias, literatura académica y cifras específicas de eSports orientadas al crecimiento y desarrollo de la industria. Los resultados indican que ESL tiene un papel como mediador en la industria, y además se encarga de hacer alianzas estratégicas con stakeholders de los eSports. Además se evidencia que ESL está trabajando por la estabilidad a largo plazo del modelo de negocio of CS:GO. Gracias a las ligas y torneos, CS:GO tiene una presencia activa en todo el mundo.

Typeset in LATEX Gothenburg, Sweden 2020 iv Designing Mobile Augmented Reality Board Games Exploring the Design Space With Regard to Player Engagement LUDVIG ARLEBRINK & CHRISTOPHER BLACK Department of Computer Science and Engineering Chalmers University of Technology and University of Gothenburg Abstract Augmented reality board games is a relatively new concept. Designing these types of games can be challenging for designers as there are no well established guidelines to consider. The combination of board games and augmented reality creates a large new design space for designers to explore. This thesis is concerned with exploring how to create player engagement in this new design space, as player engagement is a fundamental element of game design.

The ease of use, wide availability, and interactivity of gaming consoles make them an attractive simulation tool. Objective: The objective of this study was to look at the feasibility and effects of installing video game consoles in the homes of individuals looking to improve their driving skills. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted to assess the effect of playing video games on improving driving skills. An observatory study was performed to evaluate the feasibility of using an Xbox 360 Kinect console for improving driving skills. Results: Twenty±nine articles, which discuss the implementation of video games in improving driving skills were found in literature.
