“…Much of the previous research on enriching the mobile game experience for users have been in terms of functional improvements to the user experience, such as the use of a built in camera as a user interface [14], or the use of game AI [6] to create more engaging and compelling games. Pervasive games have been studied also because of the potential for a richer experience when interweaving the game world with real life.…”

Currently the most prevalent format for mobile gaming is the single-player variety, where users interact with the game's artificial intelligence within a number of genres such as sports, action, racing, and puzzle games, etc. The users install the game and play it for entertainment and to pass the time until repetitiveness and boredom prompts them to stop playing that game and switch to another one. We would like to suggest the incorporation of socializing elements into mobile game concepts, in order to enrich the user experience and allow users to share this experience with other members of their readily available social networks. Empirical studies with Malaysian and Thai youths were conducted to gain insights on behavior in playing videogames in general and playing mobile games to be specific. These studies identified socializing as one of the key drivers in playing these games. The results were shared and resulted in a jointly collaborated interface design project to explore the theme of 'socializing in mobile games'. Interface design students created new game concepts incorporating elements of socializing. Two of these mobile design projects were shown as examples to illustrate the mobile game concepts and also to identify the common themes in the context of socializing within mobile games.

With the growing popularity of mobile phone gaming, design issues with mobile phone games have become more important. Given the complexity of designing games for mobile phones, game developers must understand how mobile phone users' gaming experiences are like when using different types of phones. This paper examines users' gaming experiences in playing three types of games on three different types of phones. It is found that users have different preferences when playing different games on certain phones. Some games are more suitable to be played on mobile phone than others. Easy control and fewer levels of difficulties are the two main issues for consideration in designing mobile phone games. It is recommended that game designers design specific types of games for different mobile phone interfaces. Mobile phone manufacturers need to consider gamers' requirements for the type of games they intend to include in the mobile phone.

“…In this study, we propose an optimal contour-based template matching object detection algorithm, which considers the possibility of variable size and motion of objects. In our case, the template is a boundary curve around the object of interest, that is, a grey scale boundary curve that can have higher or lower number of points (pixels) as compared to an edge image, which includes only the boundary points of the object [Ur Rehman et al 2007]. …”

“…Such interactions of wearable devices using touchless algorithms go beyond the traditional graphical-based interfaces and can support novel and natural forms of interaction. These not only include static gestures but also patterns of behaviour and other dynamic physiological measures, such as motion-sensing-based research: camera-phone-based motion sensing [Wang et al 2006], motion-sensor-based motion sensing [Cohen 2008;Amma et al 2010], hybrid motion sensing [Hardegger et al 2013;Tran and Huang 2007] all provide a level of spatial input in a mobile setting. The future mobile phonelike device has been envisioned as remaining a standalone device with vastly improved connectivity to other devices [Amft and Lukowicz 2009], while there is an increasing interest in creating handheld interaction technologies.…”

We present a hand-and-foot-based multimodal interaction approach for handheld devices. Our method combines input modalities (i.e., hand and foot) and provides a coordinated output to both modalities along with audio and video. Human foot gesture is detected and tracked using contour-based template detection (CTD) and Tracking-Learning-Detection (TLD) algorithm. 3D foot pose is estimated from passive homography matrix of the camera. 3D stereoscopic and vibrotactile are used to enhance the immersive feeling. We developed a multimodal football game based on the multimodal approach as a proof-of-concept. We confirm our systems user satisfaction through a user study.
