An Exergame with SAR Bike: a First Prototype

The games that incorporate interfaces that engage players in physical activity during the gaming experience have attracted the attention of researchers and companies. In this paper we present an ongoing work of an exergame as a result from an R&D initiative in a partnership between a company and the academy. Having a strategic position in the intersection between entertainment and health and well-being, our proposal intends to be innovative and competitive in the commercial market. The system combines a static bike as an input device with an AR device, providing exergame's experiences in single-player or multiplayer mode. Personalization is one of its main characteristics, allowing players to select scenarios and control the game environment and difficulty level by managing the intensity of the physical exercise.
