Biofeedback Implementation in a Video Game Environment

This paper introduces a new hardware-software solution for game development. Currently, game developers do not utilize any dynamic inputs that are based off of a player´s reaction. The goal of this paper is to research how effectively and efficiently biofeedback can be implemented into a videogame. This process is evaluated from both the hardware and software implementation of heart rate monitoring. On the software side, the game dynamically generate events based on a player´s heart rate. Basing the software off of a player´s reaction feedback yields an intimate player-game experience.
