Exertion Interfaces

A new framework on how to talk about, think about and design exertion games and exergames has now been detailed in the Theory section.   

Florian 'Floyd' Mueller will give a talk at the University of California, Berkeley, USA on the 23rd of Feb 2011 on Exertion Games.    

Florian 'Floyd' Mueller speaks at the invite-only Power of Play Summit in San Francisco, USA. Leaders in the areas of fitness, science, health care, game design, video games, and education will converge to talk about the Power of Play, especially active gaming. This summit grows out of a collaborative partnership between the American Heart Association and Nintendo of America.   

Designing Sports: A Framework for Exertion Games will be presented at CHI 2011 in Vancouver, Canada, in May 2011. Acceptance rate was only 26%.

This long paper presents an understanding of how designers can approach the design of exertion games, offering insights from the design and teaching of exertion games. This work was done in collaboration with the University of Melbourne, Stanford University, Microsoft Research, the London Knowledge Lab and the University of Technology Sydney.    

Darren Edge from Microsoft Research Asia in Beijing will present Jogging over a Distance at UIST (ACM Symposium on User Interface Software and Technology) 2010 in New York, USA.  

TechNewsDaily reports on Jogging over a Distance as inspired by the talk at Siggraph 2010 in Los Angeles, USA. 

The Sydney Morning Herald features the work on Exertion Games in a dedicated section on health and technology in a one pager. 

Florian 'Floyd' Mueller is giving a talk on Jogging over a Distance at Stanford's HCI Group on 21st of July 2010, a preview of the Siggraph talk the following week in Los Angeles, USA.
