Jingle Jigsaw - Playful Dance Scaffolding Through Motion Detection

Extended screen-time can have negative health effects in both children and adults. With the advent of motion de- tection sensors and other novel interaction methods, it is possible to envision digital games that move away from screen-centered design. However, such interaction is still underrepresented in both the mainstream and academia. To address this issue, this paper proposes a screenless dance game, called Jingle Jigsaw, that encourages players to physically explore the space around them by using spatial tracking and audio feedback. We conducted a preliminary usability evaluation that conveys the fact that such interaction is perceived as enjoyable by users and pointed to promising future work.
