全身电脑游戏的出现提出了一个有趣的问题：身体运动能用来衡量玩家的审美体验吗？在这篇文章中，我们的目标是朝着回答这个问题迈出第一步。这样的问题产生于这样一个事实，即各种研究表明身体运动的双重作用，即了解人的情绪和精神状态的窗口，以及影响人的认知和情感过程的手段。在本文中，我们首先研究了在任天堂运动游戏中自动识别玩家身体运动所传达的情感表情的可能性。我们的结果表明，我们的自动识别系统达到了与人类观察者基准相当的识别率。其次，通过考虑审美体验的实用主义定义，我们认为跟踪的肢体表情不仅表达了玩家可能的感受。考虑到它们对认知和情感的调节作用，这些肢体表情也让玩家主动构建并赋予游戏展开时的情感意义。我们认为，演奏者各种情感的身体表达构成了审美体验的情感节奏动力，因此，它们提供了一种衡量其独特品质的尺度。
The emergence of full-body computer games raises an interesting question: Can body movement be used to measure the aesthetic experience of players? In this paper, we aim to take a first step toward answering this question. Such a question emerges from the fact that various studies have shown the dual role of body movement, i.e., a window on people's emotional and mental states as well as a means to affect people's cognitive and affective processes. In this paper, first, we investigate the possibility of automatically recognizing the emotional expressions conveyed by the player's body movement in a Nintendo sport game. Our results showed that our automatic recognition system achieved recognition rates comparable to human observers' benchmarks. Second, by taking a pragmatist definition of aesthetic experience into account, we argue that the tracked body expressions do not only express what the player may be feeling. Given their modulating role on cognition and affect, these body expressions also let the player actively construct and assign affective meanings to the unfolding of the game. We argue that the player's variety of emotional bodily expressions constitutes the emotional rhythmic dynamic of aesthetic experience and, as such, they provide a measure of its distinctive quality.
