Abstract

This work describes an Augmented Reality Serious Game (ARSG) focused on facilitating the process of acquiring new skills in individuals with motor disabilities. In particular, this game aims to help them control a robotic wheelchair. A racing track was used as a game narrative, including restriction areas, static and dynamic objects, obstacles and various signs. A user study with 20 participants was conducted to compare different methods used to place virtual content on the real-world environment while the user interacts with the game and control the wheelchair in the physical space: C1 - motion tracking using cloud anchors; C2 - offline motion tracking. Results suggest condition C1 is more precise and robust, while condition C2 seems to be easier to configure.
