Sonic Tennis: a rhythmic interaction game for mobile devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an audio-based tennis simulation game for mobile devices, which uses motion input and non-verbal audio feedback as exclusive means of interaction. Players have to listen carefully to the provided auditory clues, like racquet hits and ball bounces, rhythmically synchronizing their movements in order to keep the ball into play. The device can be swung freely and act as a full-fledged motionbased controller, as the game does not rely at all on visual feedback and the device display can thus be ignored. The game aims to be entertaining but also effective for educational purposes, such as ear training or improvement of the sense of timing, and enjoyable both by visually-impaired

متن کاملA Bayesian Game Formulation of Power Dissipation and Response Time Minimization in a Mobile Cloud Computing System
The rapidly developing cloud computing and virtualization techniques provide mobile devices with battery energy saving opportunities by allowing them to offload computation and execute applications remotely. A mobile device should judiciously determine whether to offload computation and which portion of application should be offloaded to the cloud. This paper considers a mobile cloud computing ...
متن کاملRecognizing and Analyzing of User's Continuous Action in Mobile Systems
As a result of the growth of sensor-enabled mobile devices, in recent years, users can utilize diverse digital contents everywhere and anytime. However, the interfaces of mobile applications are often unnatural due to limited computational capability, miniaturized input/output controls, and so on. To complement the poor user interface (UI) and fully utilize mobility as feature of mobile devices...
متن کاملLarge-Scale Mobile Audio Environments for Collaborative Musical Interaction
New application spaces and artistic forms can emerge when users are freed from constraints. In the general case of human-computer interfaces, users are often confined to a fixed location, severely limiting mobility. To overcome this constraint in the context of musical interaction, we present a system to manage large-scale collaborative mobile audio environments, driven by user movement. Multip...
