Technology state of the art and roadmap

At the EXERGAME project we have collected understanding about the potential of exergames from three viewpoints: a) consumers (consumer study, user tests and interviews) b) market (market study) and 3) technological development (state of the art and technology roadmap).

On the basis of the knowhow about the possibilities, we started creating two prototypes in April 2006. The prototypes will be developed during the summer and evaluated in fall 2006. Summary's of the reports will be published in www.vtt.fi/exergame web site.

State of the art document focused on LBS and current mobile solutions which call for some physical activity from the users.

Technology roadmap was utilizing critical paths approach (see the image). Critical paths provide a way to depict how technology enablers evolve from one stage to another and how they are linked with each other.
