While VR provides immersive experiences, it still does not offer an entirely perfect situation, mainly due to cybersickness (CS) issues. In this work, we propose a novel approach for predicting upcoming CS symptoms. Our solution is able to suggest whether the user of VR is entering into an illness situation. We adopted random forest classifiers and validated our solution using 16 different machine-learning techniques, which presented the best results. For training purposes, we built our own dataset through a CS profile questionnaire that we also propose in the present work. The questionnaire is focused on registering and identifying the user's susceptibility to CS, considering their historical conditions and also their response to the immersive environment developed by us. In this method, 86 individuals are selected and the developed questionnaire was put to them on different days, and the answers are compiled as dataset. Our proposal also identifying attributes responsible (causes and individual's parameters) for the observed stressful and uncomfortable situations.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"196 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125924096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Advances in modern machine learning open up new opportunities for more significant intelligence in such games. To this end, we investigate the following research question: What if we could train a virtual robot arm to guide us through physical exercises, compete with us, and test out various double-jointed movements? This paper presents a new game mechanic driven by artificial intelligence to visually assist users in their movements through the Unity Game Engine, Unity MI-Agents, and the HTC Vive Head-Mounted Display. We discuss how deep reinforcement learning through Proximal Policy Optimization and Generative Adversarial Imitation Learning can be applied to complete physical exercises from the same immersive virtual reality game. We examine our mechanics with four users through protecting a virtual butterfly with an agent that visually helps users as a cooperative “ghost arm” and an independent competitor. Our results suggest that deep learning agents are effective at learning game exercises and may provide unique insights for users.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122826954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With little supporting resources available for both adults and their caretakers on identifying relationship boundaries, victimization rates are consistently and alarmingly high. This study aims to explore the gamification of behavioral learning to identify personal boundaries and at-risk behaviors with real-time feedback for adults with disabilities. A Unity game, titled “Boundaries”, was developed to provide randomized situational cases in identifying personal relationship boundaries. Ten users with developmental disabilities evaluated the game to provide run-time game responses and qualitative survey feedback. The results suggest that the game was a successful medium for engaging users on the topic of personal boundaries. Significant differences in both gameplay activity were found between users eliciting low, medium, and high-risk behaviors. This paper concludes with discussion and considerations on interactive behavioral serious games for adults with disabilities.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133216278","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The project is developing a serious game for kids aged 10–12 years old to generate discussion and sense-making around nutrition, more specifically everyday choices of nourishment and food. We believe hybrid games are presenting themselves as a new realm of gaming, opening new possibilities, making use of the best of both worlds - physical and virtual. Therefore, we are now working in the creation of a hybrid game model (combining the digital component based on a TUI - tangible user interface with a physical board game). FlavourGame aims to become a game design model for platforms mixing real, fictional and digital worlds merged through physical interactions and rich sensory experiences, unusual in videogames. We intend to present some of the ideas we have been brainstorming and drafting, built on past experiences, in order to design a research path in the direction of the development of a hybrid game model based on embodied conversation and player participation.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"37 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123731243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

MAR-1 offers a reminder feature, similar to most mobile applications on the market today, and a medications history, intended to promote self-awareness of medication adherence behavior. MAR-2 adds a points system to reward adherence, while MAR-3 adds a demerit system to punish nonadherence. An experimental comparative approach was employed to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the three versions of MAR. The sample consisted of 30 participants over 18 years of age and on long-term medication regimens. A four-week field study with 10 participants for each MAR version was conducted. The majority of the participants found the app useful in helping them stick to their prescriptions. Most importantly, both the reward and penalty features were found to promote medication adherence behavior above the MAR-1 baseline level. While participants favored rewards over penalty, no statistically significant difference in medication adherence was found between the two approaches.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131309880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indispensable in our growing hyper-technological and hyper-stimulative society. SR deficits are associated with diverse behavioral problems and mental disorders such as depression, rumination, distraction, anxiety, stress, and attention control. Neurofeedback Training (NFT) is one of the techniques to train brain self-regulation (BSR). In the current protocols, the benefits from NFT greatly differ between subjects, with a high percentage of inefficacy. Therefore, understanding how to prime self-regulation could be the key to unlock predictors and optimize the success of Neurofeedback modulation, and vice-versa. Literature hypothesizes that the “optimal” state of SR learning is reached when irrelevant associations between internal states and external reward are avoided, and when the learner stays engaged, focused and undistracted. Thus, suggesting a close relation to focused attention forms of mindfulness meditation (MM). As such, to promote this “optimal” self-regulation on an NFT protocol, we implemented a human-computer framework to assist the subject to voluntary modulate their brain activity. The assistance was done by priming the subject with mindfulness guided instructions right before the NFT. In conclusion, conducting this intervention was the first step to determine if priming with external neurostimulation would enhance Neurofeedback self-regulation.","PeriodicalId":114954,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE 8th International Conference on Serious Games and Applications for Health (SeGAH)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128941837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
