Improving Mobile Gaming Experience with User Status Detect System

Abstract

As the technology progresses, many of the popular personal computer games are ported to mobile platforms. Those games features complex and precise control method compare to those found on smart phones, this difference leads to more difficult control on those mobile ports and highly affects the users’ experience. This research attempts to introduce a new way for users to interact with their mobile devices and improve their gaming experience. Using the gyroscope and camera found on the smart phones, the new user status detect system can collect the users and their devices’ current condition (including the users’ posture, body movement, and the distance and angle to their devices) and use those data to predict what the users are going to do, showing the interface before the users directly touching the screen, avoiding the problem that users’ thumb obscuring often their vision.
