Project name
Affective VideoGames
Project short description
In this project we try to develop a software that can adapt a behaviour of an interactive videogame (a car game like TORCS or a similar parametrizable game), to do this we will use some measure based on excitement of the player, analizing biological signal to valuate the emotional state.

Laboratory work and risk analysis
Laboratory work for this project will be mainly performed at AIRLab/Lambrate. It will include significant amounts of mechanical work as well as of electrical and electronic activity. Potentially risky activities are the following:
- Use of high-voltage circuits. Special gloves and a current limiter will be used.
Part 2: project description
The first part of the project will consist on the analysis of the VideoGames that have to be used for the project. In particular two/three different available open source games will be studied in order to receive feedbacks from the player(in terms of excitement) finding out which one is the most suitable for the goal of the project. In order to perform this study the ProComp sensing system will be used in order to anal
