Abstract

Human body sensors are on the rise, but their integration in games and game development is lagging. With many commercial sensors on the market, it should be easy to gauge player’s reactions using biometrics (psychophysiology). Players will soon expect their sensors to interact with the game, similar to gym equipment. We present a simple but powerful framework to connect games to a many devices without hassle: Our framework returns two key biometric measures independent of the input device(s). This works in the lab or at a testing facility, but also at the user’s home, due to the distributed nature of our software. In all, our middleware and interpretation framework can improve game research and game development, and add biofeedback to any game.
