Project ideaUse a Serious Game and Gamification principles to incentivize people to make physical activity, in particular take stairs instead of elevators or escalators
San Jose, CA - July 15, 2013 5 of 15
First approach
San Jose, CA - July 15, 2013
«Piano stairs» by the Fun Project of Wolkswagen
Results: more than 66% of people preferred the «Piano Stairs» instead of the escalators

Our approachBig issue of the «Piano Stairs»: Expensive in terms of construction time and
components Difficultly portable
Our improvementPervasive solution that provides fun using only a smartphone and its sensors More portable Less expensive World distribution possible

Our system – Activity Recognition
Research area explored in serveral ways: Using external accelerometers attached to the
body Using smartphones sensors
Accuracy ≈ 90% with smartphones
Problem: Not a real-time feedback

Our systemMain purposes: Engage people Make fun
Two different game modes: Single mode: personal levels and achievements Community mode: designed for public stairs and
to create community challenges

Cross platform development to reach the majority of the people and devices
Problems with background applications in iOS, not convenient a cross-platform approach
At the moment we are developing an Android application, in the future we will develop the iOS application
Our System – Energy consumption Avoid energy waste from the application Tests to determine how much data acquisition
influences on energy consumption (sampling every 60ms on a Samsung Galaxy):

Conclusions and Future Works Our idea: serious game to incentivize people to
make physical activity Currently under development Tests to find the right combination of information
needed for activity recognition Gamification and Serious game aspects
