“…In the period before GDPR introduction, eight studies or roughly 27% and in the period after nine studies or about 19% are concerned with Exergames when reporting on data protection. Examining the context of data protection phrases revealed that authors emphasised most the anonymisation of study artefacts such as transcripts [30], spreadsheets [38], blog-posts [35] or usage/interaction and activity profiles [24]. In both sub-collections, studies only sporadically reported on anonymisation of participants while also sometimes referring to "anonymising" when actually "pseudonymising" was performed [39].…”

On May 25th, 2018, the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) came into force. Recognised as a comprehensive regulation for improving privacy and data protection, a substantial impact on data processing disciplines such as Serious Games (SG) research was expected.By conducting a scoping review, this paper explores the effects of GDPR on reporting of ethics approval, informed consent, ethics guidelines and data protection in SG studies. Five scientific databases were searched for research between 2016 and 2020 addressing Serious Games, Exergames and Applied Games. A total of 2146 full-text studies split into equal collections before and after GDPR were included. Lexicometric and keyword-in-context analysis were conducted and comparatively evaluated regarding ethics reporting and trends.Results unexpectedly show that GDPR so far hardly left a mark. While a slight increase of 12% in general ethics reporting can be observed, less than 6% of the studies after GDPR coming-into-force report on data protection. Ethics procedures remained consistent with most researchers reporting the approval from their home university committee and stating the Declaration of Helsinki as followed guidelines. Overall, the verifiable impact of GDPR was found negligibly small, with only 0.5% of studies referring to the regulation in the two years after introduction. Conclusively, further research is suggested to focus on integrating ethics and data protection guided on GDPR from an early conceptual stage to the reporting of the findings.

“…Within the field of exertion games, designers have investigated various ways of challenging player's bodily abilities through digital, full body games (Marshall, Linehan, & Hazzard, 2016;Mueller et al, 2011). Benford et al (2012) have even considered how digital stimulation can be used to purposefully induce different uncomfortable sensations in players, to create various entertaining outcomes.…”

Many people enjoy “vertigo” sensations caused by intense playful bodily activities such as spinning in circles, and riding fairground rides. Game scholar Caillois calls such experiences “vertigo play,” elucidating that these enjoyable activities are a result of confusion between sensory channels. In HCI, designers are often cautious to avoid deliberately causing sensory confusion in players, but we believe there is an opportunity to transition and extend Caillois’ thinking to the digital realm, allowing designers to create novel and intriguing digital bodily experiences inspired by traditional vertigo play activities. To this end, we present the Digital Vertigo Experience framework. Derived from four case studies and the development of three different digital vertigo experiences, this framework aims to bring the excitement of traditional vertigo play experiences to the digital world, allowing designers to create more engaging and exciting body-based games, and provides players with more possibilities to enjoy novel and exciting play experiences.

“…In [23], a project where the purpose was to describe the acute exercise responses, heart rate, and rate of perceived exertion to exergaming using full-body isometric muscle resistance and to determine whether these responses are different during single-versus opponent-based play. In [24], Marshall, Linehan and Hazzard describes the design and study of two multi-player games that encourage players to use brute force directly against other players. The first game is Balance of Power, which is a tugof-war style game implemented with the Kinect, while Bundle is a playground-inspired chasing game implemented with smartphones.…”

“…Further there are exergames that explores the borders of the physical and virtual world [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Exergames focusing on muscle strengthening in general, which are not used for physical treatment are underrepresented in the literature on exergames, although there are some examples [23][24][25][26].…”

Sedentary lifestyle has become a major concern across the world as a result of an increasing number of desk jobs, and a steady increase in digital media consumption. This type of lifestyle can cause major health issues. The immensely popular game Pokémon Go has proven that it is possible to develop games that will motivate people of all ages to be physical active. Our exergame, Exermon, got its inspiration from Pokémon games as well as the Tamagotchi games, where our goal was to motivate the player to do strength exercises to evolve a fantasy character. This paper describes the Exermon game concept, and presents the results from an evaluation of the game where the focus was on the physical, motivational, enjoyment, and engagement effects of playing the game, as well as evaluating the game control, progression and social interaction.
