Capturing Entertainment Through Heart Rate Dynamics in the Playware Playground
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a statistical approach for capturing entertainment in real-time through physiological signals within interactive playgrounds inspired by computer games. For this purpose children’s heart rate (HR) signals and judgement on entertainment are obtained from experiments on the innovative Playware playground. A comprehensive statistical analysis shows that children’s notion of entertainment correlates highly with their average HR during the game.

Preliminary Studies for Capturing Entertainment through Physiology in Physical Games
This report presents preliminary physical control experiments for capturing and modeling the affective state of entertainment — that is, whether people are having “fun” — of users of the innovative Playware playground, an interactive physical playground. The goal is to construct, using representative statistics computed from children’s physiological hear rate (HR) signals, an estimator of the d...

This paper presents comparat ive fun experiments in the innovat ive playground ‘Playware’ which is a combinat ion of physical and virtual components for act ivat ing physical and social children’s play. For this purpose, a quant itat ive approach to entertainment modeling based on psychological studies in the field of computer games is int roduced. The paper invest igates quant itat ively how t...
متن کاملAdapting Playgrounds using Multi-Agent Systems
This paper introduces an approach on how versatile, dynamic and adaptive playgrounds can be developed using multi-agent systems (MAS), artificial intelligence (AI) and Playware technology. By modelling the children and the Playware playground into a MAS, knowledge about the children’s favourite playing behaviour can be acquired. Experiments with children were conduced in order to record their p...
متن کاملEffect of endotoxemia on heart rate dynamics in rat isolated perfused hearts
Introduction: Beat-to-beat variation in heart rate shows a complex dynamics, and this complexity is changed during systemic inflammatory response syndrome (e.g. sepsis). It is not known whether or not cardiac pacemaker dynamical rhythm is affected by sepsis. The aim of this study was to investigate heart rate dynamics of isolated heart as well as expression of pacemaker channels (HCN) in a r...
متن کاملEntertainment Modeling in Physical Play Through Physiology Beyond Heart-Rate
An investigation into capturing the relation of physiology, beyond heart rate recording, to expressed preferences of entertainment in children’s physical gameplay is presented in this paper. An exploratory survey experiment raises the difficulties of isolating elements derived (solely) from heart rate recordings attributed to reported entertainment and a control experiment for surmounting those...
