Abstract

GameLight is a smart bicycle light that overlays a virtual game projected on the ground, within the user's natural field of view while cycling. The system aims to enhance the cycling exertion experience by augmenting it with various game elements presented in two game modes: (1) an "Arcade" mode that implements a virtual coin collecting mechanic, and (2) a "Challenge" mode that provides timed effort challenges. The system consists of a pico-projector and mobile phone wirelessly connected to cadence, speed and heart rate sensors that serve as input to the virtually projected game to achieve a fun and playful effect while cycling in a controlled environment. This demo will be appealing to attendees interested in designing playful technology to support exertion.
