“…The field of movement-based games is vast, but not all styles of challenges have been equally explored. Puzzles and intensive strength challenges appear underrepresented with some exceptions (e.g., [23,36]). Sometimes incidental, unintentional ergonomic challenges/flaws.…”

“…The augmented climbing wall by Kajastila and Hämäläinen provides an example of full-body interaction on a vertical surface [23]. Another example of complexity and diversity through movement constraints is Bounden (Figure 10), a mobile dance game where two players hold on to the same mobile phone and try to move the phone as instructed, while avoiding getting tangled and losing balance [49].…”

“…Figure 12. The augmented climbing wall [23] Our framework can also be used to analyze and suggest improvements to an existing project, in this case the augmented climbing wall (ACW) by Kajastila and Hämäläinen [23]. As shown in Figure 12, ACW allows the climber to interact with projected graphics such as a route to climb or an animated object to evade.…”

“…Gravity is central to the human experience; our earliest experiences of mastery stem from overcoming gravity as we learn to stand, walk, and jump, and falling (succumbing to gravity) has been found to be the most common nightmare type [41]. Gravity also emerged as the unifying theme at a workshop where the authors discussed their various projects related to movement-based games and bodily interaction (e.g., [18,23,24,30,31,36]). We noticed that we had so far explored only fragments of a wider design space of gravity-based interactions, which we attempt to systematically map out in this paper in order to inform future work.…”

This paper seeks to expand the understanding of gravity as a powerful but underexplored design resource for movement-based games and play. We examine how gravity has been utilized and manipulated in digital, physical, and mixed reality games and sports, considering five central and gravity-related facets of user experience: realism, affect, challenge, movement diversity, and sociality. For each facet, we suggest new directions for expanding the field of movement-based games and play, for example through novel combinations of physical and digital elements.Our primary contribution is a structured articulation of a novel point of view for designing games and interactions for the moving body. Additionally, we point out new research directions, and our conceptual framework can be used as a design tool. We demonstrate this in 1) creating and evaluating a novel gravity-based game mechanic, and 2) analyzing an existing movement-based game and suggesting future improvements.

Mixed reality (MR) games refer to games that integrate physical entities with digitally mediated contents. Currently, it entails relatively high development efforts and technical threshold to incorporate multiple virtual and physical building blocks. Moreover, the absence of a coherent technology stack renders the design and development process even more challenging than conventional digital games. This research proposed an MR game technology stack that affords a wide spectrum of virtual and physical modules with flexibility to adapt to specific application domains and on-cite needs. We adopted a Research-through-Design (RtD) approach. We first surveyed 24 state-of-the-art studies, and results were synergized into three different spectra of technological affordances, respectively activity range, user interface and feedback control. Based on the initial insights, we then went through two iterations and resulted in an MR game technology stack. A user co-design workshop was further conducted, where 15 participants with different game making experiences were invited to try the proposed technology stack, and 4 conceptual game designs were generated after hands-on tutorial and group co-ideation sessions. We also collected participant feedback via user survey and semi-structured interview. The proposed technology stack received an overall positive feedback, particularly the innovative in-game interactions and the motivation for game creation it brought to the users.
