Using a Virtual Body to Aid in Exergaming System Development

A framework for simulating physiological responses to exercise lets exergame developers more efficiently test their games during development. An example implementation combines software that simulates heart-rate responses with a custom hardware setup. Simulated heart-rate responses closely match the...

Description
Summary:A framework for simulating physiological responses to exercise lets exergame developers more efficiently test their games during development. An example implementation combines software that simulates heart-rate responses with a custom hardware setup. Simulated heart-rate responses closely match the real physiological responses, demonstrating the approach's validity and potential.
