FARSEEING exergame study focuses on movement qualities in game technologies
A new study by Nina Skjæret and co-authors from FARSEEING group evaluated movement qualities which are elicited by stepping exergames. The study provides important lessons for the design of exergames for fall preventive exercise in senior citizens and illustrates the value of including analyses of movement characteristics when designing such exergames.
