E-Ball: A Hybrid Athletics/Video Game

In traditional computer games, the players are generally facing the screens, and using mice, keyboards or joysticks as the game controllers. Human senses and the natural interactions of players are lost. E-Ball is a hybrid Athletics/Video game based on the concept of computer supported collaborative play (CSCP). It collaborates the natural and enjoyable recreational interaction between players with the exciting elements of computer games. Natural physical world interactions and social aspects of traditional game play are regained. This system doesn’t need expensive components and the implementation is simple. The easy-to-learn, full-body motion, speed and rhythm of this game make the interaction very engaging and entertaining.
