Abstract
Exertion is gaining currency in digital game design.
Exertion games promise increased athletic performance
and hence health benefits. They also offer enhanced
engagement due to the coupling of physical
engagement with digital gameplay. Addressing these
converging perspectives is one of the challenges
currently faced by researchers. To illustrate the
implications for game user research and provoke
reflection about future challenges, we describe our
current research on Joggobot, a flying robot companion
for joggers. We present a set of questions from our
work that we believe represent some of the key
challenges researchers will face when considering
robots in exertion games. Through these questions, we
aim to support research into the future of exertion
games and develop guidance for designers to create
better game experiences that leverage the many
benefits of exertion for players.
