    HoloBoard: A gamified balance board experience
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Tagungsband, 2023) Frölke, Robin; Benjamin, Butz; Lux, Gregor; Gerken, Jens
    In this demo, we present HoloBoard, a HoloLens2-based Augmented Reality application, which gamifies traditional balance board training to make it more engaging and enjoyable. Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in many ball sports. Balance training, such as training programs which use a balance board, can help stabilize foot joints and prevent injuries. Traditional balance training is often inadequate because there is no feedback, and the "monotonous" movements are perceived as "boring". Our application is based on the Unreal game engine and utilizes the HoloLens2 to engage the player in various ball sports related game types such as catching, heading and dodging, thereby requiring various body movements similar to traditional balance board training programs.

    HoloBoard: Visual Augmentation and Gamification of Balance Exercises
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Tagungsband, 2023) Frölke, Robin; Butz, Benjamin; Lux, Gregor; Gerken, Jens
    Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in many ball sports. Balance training can help stabilize foot joints and prevent injuries. In particular, training programs that use a balance board have shown improved neuromuscular function and reduced susceptibility to injuries. Traditional balance training is often inadequate because there is no feedback, and the "monotonous" movements are perceived as "boring." This paper explores the effectiveness and suitability of an Augmented-Reality enhanced balance board, the HoloBoard. Our application integrates typical ball sports activities such as "catching," "heading," and "dodging," as well as various difficulty levels. We performed an exploratory field study with a semi-professional handball team, which showed that participants preferred the HoloBoard compared to traditional balance board training, enjoyed it, and judged the training as effective.
