Abstract

We present a novel fitness training system called Heart-Creates-Worlds (HCW) as a practical while pervasive solution to encourage effective daily physical activity. In this system, the aesthetic audiovisual effects of a virtual world are tightly associated with the user’s real time heart rate, while the heart rate reflects the users’ physiological and psychological state accordingly. By physically act on the control of the representation of the virtual world, users are being persuaded into traveling in a more aesthetically pleasing virtual surroundings than in the displeasure one, meanwhile, naturally fix themselves at the target fitness training zone. A pilot user study was conduct to evaluate the effectiveness and enjoyment of HCW. The results indicate that, this kind of aesthetic-driven fitness training system is helpful on encouraging regular physical performance with enough amounts.
