1  Cardiac Arrest Video Game Design by: Oskar Otoya Drew Dopson Chris Ho Kekoa Taitt

2 Problem Statement  Most video games today are one-dimensional in terms of user interaction (don’t rely on user biofeedback within the game itself).  Our objective is to design an inexpensive video game that incorporates real-time feedback from the player in order to fully immerse the player into the game.

3 Project Background  Boston Children’s Hospital created a video game to teach kids with anger issues to control their emotions. Asteroids- like game that disables your ability to shoot if your heart rate exceeds a certain limit.

4 Architecture

5 Objectives

6 Major Technologies  USB Heart Rate Monitor

7 Innovative Solution  Our goal is to extract biofeedback from a heart rate monitor attached to the player and use that data to modify the video game in real time.  The game will become more or less intense based on the feedback it receives.  Creates a solution for people who become terrified more easily (higher heart rate = less intense).

8 Challenges and Uncertainties  Becoming proficient with Blender and Unity in order to use them collaboratively  Integrating heart rate monitor with Unity  Lack of personnel given the time allotted and scope of the project

9 Expected Outcomes  Be able to successfully incorporate a heart rate monitor into a fully functional video game  Become more proficient with Unity and Blender  Have a marketable product that is cheap and entertaining

10 Project Plan  Blender software to create individual objects  Unity software to create game and integrate all objects together into a single program  Use Unity to extract data from heart rate monitor during game execution  LOTS OF TESTING!!!

11 Gantt Chart

12 Component Procurement  Purchase USB Heart Rate Monitor - $20  Unity and Blender software download - free

13 Conclusion  Although the gaming industry has begun to involve human interaction, if used at all, biofeedback has been very limited.  We hope to revolutionize and create a stepping stone for the use of biofeedback and change the way people interact with video games.
