Abstract

Wearable technology and exergames are topics with a growing interest since the wide adoption of the Internet of Things and other technological advancements around machine to machine communication. Our paper extends on existing work in the area and proposes a development framework for exergames that use physiological signals through wearable technology as player input and combine with the Internet of Things to create a single exergame solution. We analyse the applicability of our proposed framework through an exergame that uses heart rate obtained from a wearable as the sole form of player input. We highlight the empirical nature of our work and present the future directions of our research along with recommendations for researchers that wish to introduce their own solutions in the area.
