“…We found educational and strategy games in the mapping. A particular case is the work of [Nojima et al 2018], in which authors proposed a hybrid sport, i.e., a new version of the classic burn game using equipment that allows adding digital elements such as strengths and life to the participants. Thus, they adapted their natural physical abilities to the game.…”

Hybrid games can be defined as games that combine digital and analog elements in their composition. However, hybrid games bring with them challenges from both the digital and analog domains, making their development and evaluation complex. The main objective of this paper is to rise state of the art and the practice of hybrid games in academia. A standard systematic mapping methodology using digital databases for research was applied and 31 works out of a total of 395 were accepted. Through their analysis it was possible to identify the main technologies used, the areas of greatest predominance in the use of hybrid games and the methods of most used assessment.

“…In educational contexts such as [Chang et al 2017], students reported feeling more motivated and engaged to learn content through hybrid games and to participate more actively in technological contexts such as in [Nojima et al 2018] in which when asked if they would play again, 97% of the 16 participants answered yes.…”

“…Despite attention to the game design should be paid to avoid undesired problems [13], new devices (such as the Microsoft HoloLens) have been successfully employed to offer AR game experiences in huge size environments [14]. Concerning indoor environments, Nojima et al [15] proposed an AR system to augment sports with additional computergenerated contents. A modified version of dodgeball is presented in which players can fight each other through a real ball.…”

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies are increasingly becoming more pervasive and important in the information technology area. Thanks to the technological improvements, desktop interfaces are being replaced by immersive VR devices that offer a more compelling game experience. AR games have started to draw attention of researchers and companies for their ability to exploit both the real and virtual environments. New fascinating challenges are generated by the possibility of designing hybrid games that allow several users to access shared environments exploiting the features of both AR and VR devices. However, the user experience and usability can be affected by several parameters, such as the field of view (FoV) of the employed devices or the realism of the scene. The work presented in this chapter aims to assess the impact of the FoV on the usability of the interfaces in a first-person shooter game. Two players, interacting with AR (first player) and VR (second player) devices, can fight each other in a large game environment. Although we cannot ascertain that different FoVs have affected the game usability, users considered the narrow FoV interfaces to be less usable, even though they could freely move around the real environment.

“…An example more akin to a traditional sport is Augmented Dodgeball [11,12], in which the traditional game of dodgeball is augmented to create a superhuman sport. In Augmented Dodgeball, there is a physical ball augmented with RFID technology, such that the players can charge 'energy' into the ball, determining how 'strong' a hit will be.…”

In recent years, many promising developments have taken place around augmented, virtual and mixed-reality technology. One could wonder whether these technologies can be combined to yield a mix of video games and sports, involving physical activities previously deemed impossible: creating a superhuman sport. This work investigates how mixed-reality can be used to create a fun, intuitive and engaging superhuman sport. To this end, the game League of Lasers was developed, in which two teams compete in a mix between football and Pong, using the physical movement of the players as main means to interact within mixed-reality. An evaluation of League of Lasers with a user study with 32 participants showed that League of Lasers is perceived as a fun and immersive skill-based game.
