Abstract

We developed a biofeedback game in which players can take other physical actions besides simply "relaxing". We used the skin conductance response for sensing a player's surge of excitement and penalized players when they did not attack enemies in situations because they were not calm enough to meet the biofeedback threshold. We conducted a subjective experiment to to see whether people found the game enjoyable. Most participants felt the game was enjoyable.
