Other features include:
- UbiConnect Game Master program & antennae
- Up to 8 players can play together (4 v 4)
- User-generated data shared with Battle Tag community
- Laser sensing vests
- Voice prompting from Game Master transmitted via the laser gun's speakers
Exergaming Benefits
- Physical activity (primarily cardiovascular) away from a console.
- If most of the movements are near maximal and in short bursts, it could be one of the elusive exergames that elicit the vigorous intensity level that has shown to have excellent health benefits.
- Choice of many types of games and challenges.
- Social interaction with peers while playing and after receiving results.
- Strategies (individual and group) and group dynamics.
- Problem-solving during game-play.
Exergaming Concerns
- If we really want the kids to get outdoors, they probably should focus on making this game/ type of exergame a mobile-based system (think Jogging at Distance) or one that can leave the range of UbiConnect and continue to be able play. Similar to some wireless real-time heart-rate monitors that leave the base range and continue to collect data - then when you get back in range, the data is streamed to the base.
- Tethered to the UbiConnect base (300m).
- "Shooting" / using humans as targets.
- Batteries and charging system.
Unverified
- Any haptic feedback in vest or gun?
- GPS / mobile systems in development?
- Customizable games and features?
- Language packs?
