Abstract:

This paper presents LifeChair-X, an IoT cushion for posture-based gaming and Serious Game for improving workplace wellness in a post-pandemic world of sedentarianism. The LifeChair posture models are used as input to a game in which a user moves an avatar using postural shifts. Through consultations with medical professionals at the University of Tsukuba Hospital, we developed the game for guiding seated exercises for core training. The system is evaluated with 12 adult participants. Experiments showed the LifeChair-X average response time was within 0.15 s (SD=0.21) of a conventional gamepad. A gameplay study demonstrated an average score of 53.50% using LifeChair-X which was less than 25% difference to a gamepad. Elevated heart rates were observed across all participants when using LifeChair-X suggesting light-intensity exercise. A system usability score of 88.96 (SD=10.12) was achieved suggesting excellent usability levels. The LifeChair-X is an effective system for exergaming and can improve workplace wellness.
