This study aims to fill this gap by examining user experiences across three different treadmill running apps: Zwift (a running simulator), Ring Fit Adventure (a Nintendo Switch game), and Fitoon (a mobile-specific treadmill game). Using unique interaction mechanisms-pedometer, leg-mounted controller with Ring-Con, and smartwatch, respectively, each app is evaluated through the In-Game version of the Game Experience Questionnaire. Results indicate that exergames, particularly Fitoon, significantly improve Competence, Immersion, and game flow compared to traditional treadmill running activities. However, contrary to expectations, the use of a smartwatch for interaction did not significantly decrease levels of Negative Affect. This finding underscores the complexity of the relationship between interaction mechanisms and their impact on user emotions within treadmill running applications. By providing a comprehensive analysis of user experiences, this study provides insight into the potential benefits and limitations of different interaction systems and platforms, providing valuable information for the development of more emotionally engaging and rewarding treadmill running apps. crucial.","PeriodicalId":55997,"journal":{"name":"Entertainment Computing","volume":"14 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142247838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It introduces three key concepts: (inherent game risk), (player skill level), and (reward frequency concerning reinforcement learning), and investigates how their interplay influences player engagement and enjoyment. The research aims to contribute theoretical advancements in game design, user experience, and behavioral psychology by employing the motion-in-mind model. The findings reveal that highly skilled players (lower ) derive greater enjoyment due to their ability to navigate uncertainties efficiently, reaching an equilibrium where the measure of game refinement () equals the measure of unpredictability (). The study examines how players transition from (average skill) to (high skill), leading to a heightened gaming perception akin to perfect players. The research uncovers relationships between player skill (), game risk (), and reward frequency ().

These models, while valuable, often focus on analyzing game experiences within specific contexts rather than facilitating comparative analyses. Addressing this research gap, our study empirically identifies prevalent game experience types that are common across various games. By analyzing 5,372 game experience descriptions provided by 1,193 survey respondents, this research employs a survey design inspired by the flow of qualitative interviews, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the diverse factors shaping these experiences. Through latent class analysis, we delineate eight distinct game experience types: Compelling Challenge, Immersive Exploring, Creative Caring, Energetic Rushing, Competitive Shooting, Cheerful Bouncing, Strategic Management, and Daily Dwelling. Each type is analyzed in terms of both the variables from the latent class analysis and additional survey variables, enhancing our understanding of their unique and comparative characteristics. This approach sheds light on the multifaceted nature of game experiences and broadens our insights into player engagement across different game genres, offering practical implications for game design, marketing, and future research.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55997,"journal":{"name":"Entertainment Computing","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100882"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875952124002507/pdfft?md5=98d6c58a024a8ebd3ccc217cd18ebfe6&pid=1-s2.0-S1875952124002507-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142148141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We gathered 183 written game music memories and analyzed their contents and language. We focused on expressions of affect and sentiment, which we assumed would indicate affective involvement. However, we also explored the constitution of attachment by investigating how expressions of affect and sentiment were associated with other aspects in the stories that reflect personal valuation, focusing specifically on factors of autobiographical remembrance, conceptualizations of game music, and gaming technology related to memories. These investigations employed a mixed-methods approach that combined qualitative and statistical analyses. A major finding was that especially personal remembrances that involved an awareness of the self or related to the game music experience significantly predicted the use of expressions of affect and sentiment in the stories. In sum, the study outlines a framework for investigating people’s long-term engagement with technology as being intimately related to the context of everyday life and the constitution of self-understanding.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55997,"journal":{"name":"Entertainment Computing","volume":"52 ","pages":"Article 100883"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1875952124002519/pdfft?md5=4d8f037880cc7cb8dcd9c6b45aa9c460&pid=1-s2.0-S1875952124002519-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142136696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, we explore the current research on influencing factors in live-streaming, to identify the state of the field and inform future research. A scoping review was conducted to map the currently researched topics and factors, to find emerging or understudied topics, and to analyze the state of multidisciplinary and multicultural cooperation. Two iterations of a literature search and a citation-based literature mapping were used to collect 348 peer-reviewed entries. Identified and classified themes were analyzed along with visualizations of the local citation network, concept co-occurrence, and an inter-country citation graph. As a result, the main actors, genres, and issues in live-streaming, the frequency with which they are researched, and their trends over time were identified and described. Games and esports dominate research; topics recently gaining interest are e-commerce, mental health, collaboration and teaching using streams, and promoting tourism using streams. The body of literature is well connected; scientific disciplines and research groups seem to be aware of each other.
