“…More specifically, the player input that exergames integrate into gameplay is recorded by the exergame device, allowing researchers to access the data after gameplay or in real-time if data are wirelessly uploaded to an online portal. The logging and interaction framework (LAIF) proposes a framework to log and triangulate physiological, behavioral, and eye tracking data in games (specifically vision-based games) [9]. A similar methodology could be adapted to log activity and physical health data from exergame devices using sensor technology.…”

Exergames are popular video games that combine physical activity with digital gaming. To measure effects of exergame play on physical outcomes and health behaviors, most studies use external measures including accelerometry, indirect calorimetry, heart rate monitors, and written surveys. These measures may reduce external validity by burdening participants during gameplay. Many exergames have the capability to measure activity levels unobtrusively through monitors built into game equipment, and preliminary analysis indicates that exergame measures are significantly correlated with external measures of caloric expenditure, duration of play, and balance. Exergames also have unique capabilities to measure additional data, such as the game challenges, player movement, and levels of performance that affect aerobic activity. Researchers could capitalize on the data collected by the exergame itself, providing an efficient, unobtrusive, comprehensive measure of physical activity during exergame play.

Sustainability reports provide stakeholders with information about a company's efforts to balance its economic, ecological and social goals. Because of their influence on a company's image as well as on the customers' buying and shareholders' investment decisions, sustainability reports are an integral part of today's corporate online communication.Following a design science research approach, this paper describes the design, prototypical implementation and evaluation of augmented sustainability reports. In contrast to traditional PDF-or print media-based sustainability reports, augmented sustainability reports contain multimedia contextual information that is displayed depending on the user's gaze position. In our prototype the gaze position is simulated using mouse tracking. The comparative evaluation of the prototype was conducted via a quantitative questionnaire based on the technology acceptance model (TAM). Additionally, qualitative feedback was gathered during the course of the evaluation. Traditional and augmented sustainability reports were compared on the basis of the questionnaire results which reveal room for improvement of the prototype as well as possible starting points for future research.Overall, the evaluation results indicate that our test users had a strong preference for the augmented sustainability report compared to the PDF-based report even though both alternatives had identical content.

“…Apart from these aspects with regard to contents, my work is related to the design of authoring environments and logging frameworks such as the logging framework for gaze-based interaction [12]. Based on these foundations, it is planned to develop a research toolbox which is described in the following section.…”

Although several casual gaming systems have been developed during the past years, little research examining the impact of human factors on the design and use of digital games has been carried out, and commercially available games are only partially suitable for audiences with special needs. The research project described within this paper aims to analyze and explore design guidelines for diverse audiences and results of focus group gaming sessions to develop a research toolbox allowing for the easy creation of adaptable and accessible game scenarios. Thereby, a controllable environment for the detailed evaluation of the interrelations between human factors and entertainment systems is provided. Results obtained by further testing will be integrated in the toolbox, and may foster the development of accessible games, thus opening up new opportunities for diverse audiences and allowing them to further engage in digital games.
