| Abstract: | Today’s high calorie diets and low physical activity levels contributes towards childhood obesity. Exergaming, a combination
of ”exercise” and ”gaming” was conceived as a
means of addressing this problem. In this paper a mobile collaborative exergame, which is designed to be enjoyable and
physically challenging, is presented. The long term objective is to harness conventional mobile computing technologies to deliver a platform for games that are adaptive to the exercise requirements of individual children. |
