ABSTRACT
Wriggle is a research prototype game that can be played either with or without movement as input. We conducted an experiment to see whether movement adds emotional impact and increases social connectedness. We found effects on arousal and results approaching significance for social connection, demonstrating the potential for this approach to help us better understand the impact of movement on user experience.

The many faces of sociability and social play in games
MindTrek '09: Proceedings of the 13th International MindTrek Conference: Everyday Life in the Ubiquitous EraIn the past, social interaction has been discussed mostly in the context of multiplayer games, ignoring the implicit forms of sociability in single player games. This paper distinguishes between the sociability around the playing of a game and the ...
I-dentity: concealing movement representation associations in games
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsThis paper details the design of i-dentity, a collaborative movement-based game where the game design deliberately conceals the players' associations to a digital representation. While movement-based digital games typically make it clear whose movement ...
A fuzzy physiological approach for continuously modeling emotion during interaction with play technologies
The popularity of computer games has exploded in recent years, yet methods of evaluating user emotional state during play experiences lag far behind. There are few methods of assessing emotional state, and even fewer methods of quantifying emotion ...
