We found it difficult to coherently attach exercise (burnt calories) to an external battle system, and we struggled to come up with a turn-based combat design that\u2019s both easy to learn and strategic. After discussion, we decided to pivot our game toward group-based exercise competition: more than 2 players are grouped into 2 opposite teams and each player contributes their daily burnt calories to the team. To our knowledge, Apple\u2019s built-in fitness app only supports 1-to-1 data sharing and simplistic competition. We believe this group-based social game design should fill a niche and motivate players to exercise more from the sense of competition and peer pressure.<\/p><p>For proof-of-concept, we conducted a brown-box version of the game using text messaging: our team members and our advisors were divided into two teams, and each day everyone would upload their screenshot of the built-in fitness app to the text group. By the end of the day, we would manually aggregate the data from each player and draw a chart to compare efforts from the team. We hope to get more insights that help us drive and refine the design of our new game!<\/p><p>To start our work on the fitness game, it\u2019s crucial to get the burnt calorie data from the device. We researched and found a way to get the daily calories data from built-in fitness tracker without having to handle sessions ourselves. Next week we\u2019re on track to build an early prototype to test internally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d148199 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"d148199\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9940c4b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"9940c4b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-1024x605.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1793\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-1024x605.png 1024w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-768x454.png 768w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-1536x908.png 1536w, https:\/\/projects.etc.cmu.edu\/beyond-beyond-touch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/Frame-1171276537-2048x1210.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week, we just came back from the week-long fall break and are recharged and ready to move the next step forward!
