Abstract(s)
As técnicas de interacção humana com o computador (HCI) têm evoluído muito nos
últimos anos, o que trouxe benefícios para a indústria dos videojogos. O aparecimento
de comandos de movimento como o comando Wii Remote ou o comando Playstation
Move são exemplos desta evolução. Uma área dos videojogos que beneficiou bastante
com esta evolução foi a área dos jogos que promovem o exercício físico, os Exergames.
Esta dissertação apresenta o jogo mSquash, um Exergame que foi criado para
testar a potencialidade deste tipo de videojogos e também das técnicas de interacção
usadas neles. Para isso foi usado o comando de movimento Playstation Move como
controlador do jogo e o motor de renderização OGRE3D como plataforma base para o
desenvolvimento do jogo. Foram ainda efectuados testes com vários jogadores e foram
retirados dados relativos à sua performance no jogo. Os jogadores foram ainda sujeitos
a um questionário, depois de terem jogado o mSquash, onde se tentou perceber a sua
opinião sobre o jogo e a forma de interacção utilizada.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques have evolved over the last years, which brings benefits to the video game industries. The appearances of motion controllers like the Playstation Move and the Wii Remote are examples of this evolution. One type of video games that benefits a lot from this evolution were the Exergames, video games that promote physical exercise. This dissertation presents the mSquash, an Exergame that was created to study the capabilities of this type of video games and the interaction techniques used on them. Playstation Move was used as the controller for this game, which was built using the 3D rendering engine OGRE. Besides were realized tests with several players and were generated data about the players performance in the game. The players also had to answer to a questionnaire, after playing the game, to obtain their opinions about the game and about the interaction method used.
