Integrating Real Physical Activity and Virtual Game Gang Li, Xinfeng Li, Yuan Yuan, QiangZhai, Sen Zhang
Background • Android • A software platform for mobile devices • Fastest growing mobile OS • 52.5% of sold smart phone in 2011 Q3 (25.3% in 2010 Q3) • Dominant OS • 43% of Smartphone market until 2011 Q3
Motivation & Objective • Wii • Combination of physical exercises and videos games • App Objective • Interesting • Physical activity involvement
App Overview • Sensor module • Data collection • Translate module • Data transformation • Game module • Game playing Sensor Translate Game
Existing Apps/Games • Smartphone Apps • keep track of speed, miles and calorie • Android: CardioTrainer, My Trackers, RunKeeper • iOS: TailGuru, CityRUNNR, SpeedoMeter • Motion games • wireless controller + movement sensing + video game • Wii: by Nintendo • Xbox 360 + Kinect: by Miscrosoft
Motion Recognition & Measurement • Basic idea • One feature of smartphone is its various sensors such as accelerometer and GPS. • We can use these sensors to recognize and calculate kinds of motions.
Motion Recognition & Measurement Existing approaches rely on several heuristic models such as artificial neural network. However, it consumes many calculation and storage resources and therefore is NOT compatible to smartphone. Besides, we also need to measure the motion.
Motion Recognition & Measurement Jogging Push-up Sit-up
Jogging Recognition & Measurement • Improved method • Use inertia sensors to record the movement from start point to end point • Exploit GPS in duty-cycle to revise the error of inertia sensors
Translate Module • Build the connection • Use the exercise records to configure the game • Need transformation • Exercise records are not applicable for the direct configuration. • Physical attributes are much easier.
Game Module • Brief Discription • It is a soccer game. • It is coded in Java and is based on OpenGL and Irrlicht game engine.
Game Feature • Funny 3D comic style • Enthralling stadium atmosphere • Keyboard and gamepad control • 2-player mode • Career and World Cup • 5 players each team
Progress & Prospect • Progress • Sensing Module • Finished: Android sensing, basic exercise pattern • Todo: advanced exercise pattern • Gaming Module • Finished: code/project review, policy mechanism • Todo: game configuration interface • In the future… • Support more exercise types • Involve more hot (smartphone) games
