Abstract:

Digital games have been applied to study the performance of human dynamic balance. However, how to design the balance games, or how the mechanics of games affect the performance of dynamic balance are still lack of research reports. This study developed game prototypes for measuring the performance of human dynamic balance. As the experimental results shown, the game scores can be highly related to the performance of players’ dynamic balance if the game mechanics are well designed.
