详细描述
Introduction:
The goal of a usability evaluation is to assess the degree to which a system is effective, efficient and favours positive attitudes and responses from the intended users. Exergames in particular present unique usability challenges. Because games are fundamentally different than general productivity tools, traditional usability instruments valid for productivity applications may fall short when used for serious games.
Additionally, serious games target audiences may not play games regularly; usability issues alone can hinder the game play process negatively affecting the learning experience. For this reason, user-based evaluation for exergames with adequate test user group is very important to ensure that heterogeneous population will be able to interact easily with innovative applications.
Exergames:
Exergames are defined as: ''Any number of types of video games that require the game player to physically move in order to play''.
