Abstract :
We proposed an extensible mobile augmented reality exergame platform which utilizes augmented reality and sensors to connect virtual game content to the real world. We analyzed the current state of augmented reality and exergaming research before describing the Calory Battle AR concept along with its technical details. Extensibility of the platform is threefold: 1) players can create and share game maps; 2) developers can create new task types for game maps; and 3) developers can create context-sensing modules based on wearable technologies.
