Serious gaMes as Emerging E-health Interventions for Young People With neurologicaL or rEspiratory disoRders

SG which was conceived as a running game, in which an Avatar runs through the forest and overcomes obstacles through the player's performance of physical exercises. Children will play while watching an imaginary Avatar, who shows the right movements to perform in order to collect rewards. SG will be projected with a 4K projector and controlled by the child's movements, which will be tracked in markerless mode using Azure's Kinect sensor. SG will include an adaptive tool to enable the experience based on the child's specific motor skills. The dynamics of SG will be adapted by considering real motor and physiological data acquired during each SG session via a wristband. These data are necessary to keep the child in the aerobic zone (60-80% of maximum heart rate). The movements are: 1. Side bending: Moving an obstacle to open a passage. 2. High jump: Overcoming a low, frontal obstacle. 3. Side lunge: Avoiding a side obstacle. 4. Squat: Passing under a low, frontal obstacle.
