- ZeitschriftenartikelChallenges and Opportunities in Designing Experiences for Advanced Amateur Sportsmen(i-com: Vol. 16, No. 2, 2017) Woźniak, Paweł W.While new technologies supporting the experience of sports appear every day, we still do not have a full understanding of how to design technology that augments the experience of physical exercise. As more and more users practice sports in western societies, interaction design must learn to readdress the practical, social, physical and psychological aspects of sports. In this paper, I reflect on my past studies in the nascent field of designing interactive technologies for advanced amateur sportsmen. I share the practical challenges involved in augmenting experiences of training and race day performance. I discuss issues of qualitative experience, community, motivation and temporality to highlight where current sports technologies are insufficient. In particular, I focus on the experiences of those already involved in training routines and place less emphasis on beginners or those who need to be convinced to practice sports. I then discuss reasons for the difficulties involved in developing sports technologies and propose potential solutions to those difficulties to identify ways to move interaction design for sports forward.
- KonferenzbeitragGame of TUK: deploying a large-scale activity-boosting gamification project in a university context(Mensch und Computer 2020 - Tagungsband, 2020) Müller, Julia; Sprenger, Max; Franke, Tobias; Lukowicz, Paul; Reidick, Claudia; Herrlich, MarcWe present Game of TUK, a gamified mobile app to increase physical activity among students at TU Kaiserslautern. The scale of our project with almost 2,000 players over the course of four weeks is unique for a project in a university context. We present feedback we received and share our insights. Our results show that location-based activities in particular were very popular. In contrast, mini-games included in the app did not contribute as much to user activity as expected.
