Development of Computer Vision-enabled Augmented Reality Games to Increase Motivation for Sports

Abstract

This research paper presents the development of computer vision-enabled augmented reality games based on action detection to increase motivation for sports. With the increasing popularity of digital games, physical activity and sports participation have been declining, especially among the younger generation. To address this issue, we developed a series of augmented reality games that require players to perform physical actions to progress and succeed in the game. These games were developed using computer vision technology to detect the players' movements and provide real-time feedback, enhancing the gaming experience and promoting physical activity. The results of our user study showed that participants who played the augmented reality games reported higher levels of motivation to engage in physical activity and sports. The findings suggest that computer vision-enabled augmented reality games can be an effective tool to promote physical activity and sports participation, especially among younger generations.

Transformative Learning Through Augmented Reality Empowered by Machine Learning for Primary School Pupils: A Real-Time Data Analysis

“…Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that AR-based instructional digital mo. AR technology has also been used to produce interesting experiences, such as ARbased mobile applications that assist learning in kids with learning disabilities and AR-enabled sports games that increase student motivation for physical activity [23]. AR is essential to transformative learning because it challenges students' preconceived notions and presumptions.…”
