Activity and Accessibility in Digital Games

主动游戏代表了数字娱乐的下一次革命。在主动游戏中，玩家通过身体活动来控制游戏玩法，而不是通过点击控制器按钮。一些商业游戏已经展示了活跃游戏的潜力，包括舞蹈游戏，如育碧的《Just Dance》，体育游戏，如任天堂的《Wii sports》，以及Niantic的增强现实步行游戏《pokemon Go》。主动游戏可以增加游戏的沉浸感，让玩家在虚拟世界中感受到更多的存在感，因为他们的身体动作直接影响游戏玩法，而不是通过游戏控制器进行调节。积极的游戏可以帮助人们对抗久坐不动的行为，要求人们参与体育活动——积极的游戏可以为运动障碍人士提供体育活动的出口。动态游戏由新兴的运动和活动跟踪硬件支持，包括基于智能手机的位置和心率传感器，以及用于虚拟和增强现实的房间级运动跟踪器。现在正是在游戏中支持身体活动的时候。

Active games represent the next revolution in digital entertainment. In active games, players control gameplay using physical activity, rather than through clicking buttons on a controller. Select commercial games have shown the potential of active games, including dancing games such as Ubisoft’s Just Dance, sports games such as Nintendo’s Wii Sports, and Niantic’s augmented reality walking game Pokémon Go. Active games can increase immersion in games, allowing the player to feel more present in the virtual world as their physical actions directly influence gameplay, rather than being mediated by a game controller. Active games can contribute to anti-sedentary behaviour, requiring people to engage in physical activity to play - and active games can provide an outlet for physical activity for persons with motor disabilities. Active games are supported by emerging hardware for motion and activity tracking, ranging from smartphone-based location and heart rate sensors, through room-scale motion trackers for virtual and augmented reality. The time is right to support physical activity in games.
