Title: | Bro-cam: Improving game experience with empathic feedback using posture tracking | Authors: | TAN, Chiew Seng Sean SCHOENING, Johannes SCHNEIDER BARNES, Jan LUYTEN, Kris CONINX, Karin |

We envision that incorporating empathic feedback matching the player’s current mood will improve the overall gaming experience. In this paper we present Bro-cam, a novel system that provides empathic feedback to the player based on their body postures. Different body postures of the players are used as an indicator for their openness. From their level of openness, Bro-cam profiles the play-ers into different personality types ranging from introvert to extrovert. Empathic feedback is then automatically generated and matched to their preferences for certain humoristic feedback statements. We use a depth camera to track the player’s body postures and movements during the game and analyze these to provide customized feedback. We conducted a user study involving 32 players to investigate their subjec-tive assessment on the empathic game feedback. Semi-structured interviews reveal that participants were positive about the empathic feedback and Bro-cam significantly improves their game experience. | Keywords: | Personalized Feedback; Posture Recognition; Persuasive Computing; Game experience | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/14555 | ISBN: | 978-3-642-37156-1 | Category: | C1 | Type: | Proceedings Paper | Validations: | vabb 2015 |
