ABSTRACT
We present Alone Together, an interactive online ball playing environment augmented with three sets of Kinects. The play environment attempts to simplify the real world ball-passing exercise (or rehabilitation sessions) except that the players can be miles away from each other, and they interact without a physical ball. Kinects are used to map players' action into a virtual world including the passing of the virtual ball. A small-scale experiment shows inexperienced players' acceptance over such virtual setting compared to the physical ball-passing game within a short playing duration.

"Alone together?": exploring the social dynamics of massively multiplayer online games
CHI '06: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsMassively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) routinely attract millions of players but little empirical data is available to assess their players' social experiences. In this paper, we use longitudinal data collected directly from the game to examine play ...
