Abstract. Promoting social behavior is one of the key goals in interactive games. In this paper, we present an experimental study in the Interactive Tag Playground (ITP) to investigate whether social behaviors reported in literature can also be observed through automated analysis. We do this by analyzing players' positions and roles, which the ITP logs automatically. Specifically, we address the effect that gender and age have on the amount of tags and the distance that players keep between them. Our findings largely replicate existing research, although not all hypothesized differences reached a level of statistical significance. With this proof-of-concept study, we have paved the way for the automated analysis of play, which can aid in making interactive playgrounds more engaging.

“…If such a system is also tracking people (position + id), it allows for even more kinds of interactions. For instance, Moreno et al created the interactive tag playground, an interactive floor projection for research purposes [156]. In the tag game, each player has one circle following them, indicating their role, and children tag each other by letting their circles collide, see Figure 2.6.…”

“…Using the infrared spectrum prevents feedback loops due to changing animations. Such a sensor system can be mounted to the ceiling to provide an easy means for tracking the players [128,156,232]. The camera can also be mounted inside the floor with a semi-transparent floor to track the feet of users [79].…”

“…Several interactive floor systems exist for indoor purposes, with mainly LEDs or projections as means of feedback, and using either RFID [117], pressure sensors [257,283], or computer vision to track people [79,102,156]. Several target groups have participated in studies with these floors, including children [281], families [117], students [156,256,260], intellectually disabled people [283], rehabilitants [257], and hearing impaired people [102].…”

SummaryReaction time, the ability to detect, process and respond to stimuli, is one of the fundamental factors in human computer interaction, and is a key cognitive skill in clinical and healthy populations. Good reaction time allows us to respond to stimuli and situations with agility and efficiency. How to train and improve a person's reaction time has become an important research question. In this paper, we present a new training genre which combines the user‐centered personalized training objects generation with precise tracking of foot interaction.Virtual objects are created with respect to the user's features and historical training effectiveness, and are in motion. A foot tracking algorithm based on three‐Gaussian model is designed to support interaction with stepping on moving virtual objects. We present the design and implementation of the system, as well as user studies. Findings illustrate that the reaction time performances are significantly improved following of seven days of training based on foot interaction.
