After six months of ethnographic investigation, empirical study and developing prototypes, we have designed and developed a novel solution in the fitness and social interaction domains. In this paper we introduce \"Calorie Cruncher\", an interactive game in a fitness center, designed to instigate social interactions in the gym. In this paper we [i] discuss the results of our ethnographic study and highlight the problem space [ii] illustrate our design process after six months of research, design, and development [iii] evaluate our results from the Wizard of Oz usability test while we look at multi user engagement. Our evaluation indicated three major findings: the Calorie Cruncher game was liked by all participants, there are two sub-populations of fitness center attendees: the unsocial and social gym-goers, and the Calorie Cruncher provides a good common ground for social interaction through competition.","PeriodicalId":219262,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127471779","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}

Examples of moving objects in games are movement of grass, simulation of weather, fireflies or other visual effects; we refer to those moving objects as ambient motion. They create the atmosphere (i.e. sensorial qualities) of the game and they are often used to engage and/or inform the users. Interestingly, little is known about motion beyond its pre-attentive properties and specific emotions that it may evoke. To date, there is little empirical evidence of the influence of ambient motion on players' performance or gameplay in 3D games. In this paper we present a study in which participants played a game in one of three conditions. Each condition presented fireflies moving at different speeds. Our results suggest that the speed of ambient motion may influence the number of mistakes that players make while jumping platforms, especially if the players are new to games. However, due to constrained sample size, more experiments need to be conducted in order to generalize this finding.","PeriodicalId":219262,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115538171","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}

In the world of gaming, a parallel issue exists in that there are many different types of games, player profiles and web-based discussion systems for gamers that remain disconnected from each other due to a lack of standardised methods for expressing gaming entities and events. In this paper, we describe an approach to link entities in-game and gamer profiles to items on the Web, and vice versa, that exploits Semantic Web technologies. Previous work focused on client-side capturing of gamer information for online profiles, and in the reverse direction, creating game content from open data on the Web. Other work has tackled how community requirements can assist in altering games and providing updated content for gamers. Our work proposes a more generally-applicable solution that would provide for a set of terms commonly found in games to be used on the Web, and to list suitable Web information sources (e.g. Wikia games wikis) that could be used to enhance in-game play. This work will extends previous efforts to create games ontologies, resulting in a more structured RDF games ontology describing game types, features, events and character profiles. We describe how our ontology could be linked to existing Semantic Web vocabularies for describing social data on the Web, including Friend of a Friend (FOAF) and Semantically Interlinked Online Communities (SIOC).","PeriodicalId":219262,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Games Innovation Conference","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128872806","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}
