Development of adaptive human–computer interaction games to evaluate attention

Abstract In this paper, several physical activity-based human–computer interaction (HCI) games which are developed and implemented for the improvement of attention, emotion, sensory–motor coordination will be presented. The interface difficulty levels these specially designed use people with different age groups disabilities. involve activities fulfillment some basic HCI tasks require hand arm motion control, such as fruit picking air hockey, adaptive based on varying parameters human performance. game, images moving from top to bottom screen. Objective is collect apples while avoiding pears. player’s control basket that collects fruits. hockey player try score goals against computer-controlled opponent. paddle hit puck or defend his/her goal area. recognized by Kinect RGB-D sensors in both games. Aim difficulty-based system keeping players engaged tested a group deaf children (3.5–5 years) part an ongoing project, 1 decrease stress increase their positive emotions, before audiology tests. game performances evaluation therapists show have impact children. also adults group, where mobile EEG device employed detect attention levels. For purpose, attended third featuring maze controlled Myo sensors.
