DATA COLLECTION GRAPH

We have the data recording tool with the graph function. After we collects biofeedback data during the game play, we can see data with graph. We can choose the value that we want to see, and also zoom in and zoom out. During the play we can manually set the time line that indicates the time in the graph. These biofeedback data includes average, minimum and maximum values of GSR, Heartbeat, short-term excitement, longterm excitement and meditation. It also records various game data such as shooting accuracy, number of zombies killed and the play time.It would help to analyze how game affects to the the player.

Plan To Do

Based on the feedback and our schedule, we will keep

developing our game.

We need to find the relationship between biofeedback and emotion. We will show testers scary movies and observe the data. It might give us common biofeedback data when people got scared.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN BIOFEEDBACK AND GAME

We also need to define which biofeedback affects to the game in which way. Once we know the relationship between emotion and biofeedback, it will be easier to define what is the positive way that biofeedback affects to the game.

o Add game detail

o Game design

o Sound effect

o User Play Test

We would start basic play testing and get feedback.

Following advices of faculty, we revised to give more closed space feeling. This is still in draft stage. After we have more play testing, we would confirm the change and add art work.

Player would have a limited sight and less place to move. It would give more salient biofeedback.

Device is confirmed with Emotiv.

Comparison between Neurosky and Emotiv

Although its disadvantage in convenience for player, Emotiv performs better in programming and data acquisition. We think these are important for our research purpose. If we make commercial game, Neurosky could be reconsidered.

PROGRAM STABILITY

NeuroSky is unstable to connect. It is often that the program cannot connect with the device, and the whole program was stuck at this time. Also, it is often that the connection become bad when we are using the device. Even NeuroSky's own sample program sometimes cannot work well.!

Emotiv is much easier to connect with program. Even though sometime the program stopped suddenly and cannot disconnect, the device can solve this problem by itself.

DATA ACQUISITION

NeuroSky's data lagged for a few second, and acquires less data than Emotiv. The data we can use from NeuroSky are attention and meditation value, which refresh once per second.!

Emotiv can provide more data, including long term excitement, short term excitement, meditation, frustration, and boredom, which refresh 4 times per second.

DATA ACQUISITION

•EMOTIV acquires more data in

Neurosky has two sensor spot. One is for ear and one is for forhead. It’s easy to setup and play. It has bluetooth headphone.

Emotiv needs to use 16 damp sensors around the head. It’s less comfortable to play. It requires 10 minutes to setup the sensors.!

our team had many rehearsal. The presentation was full of fun and

interesting. We are sure that our presentation was the most

enjoyable and interesting presentation through whole half

Team Physion was one of few teams that actually shows the

demo program. We knew that our prototype had not many visual

effect yet and was not scary yet. However, we were not afraid to

show to give audience better understanding for our project. We

hoped that our audience would see through the current state and

understand the concept. Although some of audience might not

think as we intended but it was worth to trying.

Week  7  (02-­22-­2010)      

Things  we  did  1.  IR  sensor  bar    

If  we  put  sensor  below  or  above  the  screen,  aiming  point  on  the  screen  is  not  well  matched  with  what  my  Wiimote  gun  actually  aim.  In  shooting  game,  aiming  is  basic  and  crucial  part.  To  solve  aiming,  we  tried      1)  Using  two  Wiimotes    Block  each  side  of  Wiimote  and  put  middle  end  of  the  screen.  It  works  in  small  screen  not  in  big  one  because  Wiimote  has  limited  horizontal  range.      

·∙ Use  duct  tape  to  block  IR  ·∙ Put  two  Wiimotes  at  each  side  of  screen  

·∙ Player  need  to  stay  in  certain  distance  to  play      2)  Using  IR  LED  and  attach  on  the  screen    Using  IR  LED  and  attach  on  the  screen  It  might  work  well,  but  the  LED  would  look  distracted.  We  can  take  the  light  from  the  glasses  and  attach  have  it.  We  think  buy  new  glasses  or  make  our  own  LED  light.          

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

3)  Put  sensor  bar  between  screen  and  player    Put  sensor  bar  between  screen  and  player  

nd  works  in  acceptably.  However,  it  is  a  little  distracting  that  sensor  bar  is  in  front  of  player  and  blocks  the  screen.    

   

 2.  Game  Programming  

We  will  try  to  make  a  very  simple  prototype  such  as  shooting  boxes  as  early  as     possible.    1)  Study  Unity  3D  engine  We  studied  Unity  3D  engine  and  make  FPS  game  following  tutorial.    2)  Integrating  Unity  3D  with  IOM  (GSR  and  heartbeat  sensor)  We  succeeded  in  reading  data  from  Wild  Divine  in  Unity  3D    3)  Get  data  from  Mindset  and  Wiimote  in  C#    We  succeeded  in  reading  data  from  Mindset  and  Wiimote  in  C#  program  for  Unity  3D    

 3.  Art  Work  

We  will  develop  concept  art  and  modeling.    1)  Concept  art  of  game  stage    church  2)  Prototype  zombie  model  

                   

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

4.  Cave  System  We  talked  with  Ruth  again  about  the  CAVE  and  the  Swiss  Ranger  sensor  (SR).  It  is  really  cool  to  have  a  better  view,  but  there  are  also  many  challenges.  We  would  develop  with  normal  monitor  first.  If  we  have  time  later,  we  would  consider  using  CAVE.  

              1)  SR  sensor  and  projects  are  not  high  enough,  7  feet  above  the  floor.    

Currently  the  SR  locates  lower  position,     which  means  the  player  cannot  move  freely  since  SR  has  only  limited  view  field.  If  the  player  leaves  the  center  point  of  CAVE  a  little  far  away,     SR  cannot  find  the  player.  In  current  situation,     the  valid  area  is  really  small,     less  than  1  square  meter.      In  addition,     the  position  of  projectors  is  also  low.  If  a  player  with  6.5  feet  tall  is  standing  at  the  center  of  the  CAVE  system,     his/her  head  may  block  some  parts  of  the  screen.      To  change  the  position  of  SR  and  projector,     we  have  to  build  a  new  frame  to  support  them,    which  is  time  consuming,     and  we  need  to  discuss  with  ETC.    2) Detecting  Aim  is  hard  in  CAVE  If  we  use  SR  instead  of  Wiimote  to  aim,  it  is  hard  to  detect  the  gun  from  the  player.  In  addition,    detecting  aim  point  at  three  screens  will  be  very  complicated.  We  need  to  check  schedule  with  Ruth  and  i3  team  to  go  to  the  CAVE  room.  

   

5.  Purchase  New  device  Emotiv.  It's  faster  and  gives  more  data  than  our  current  device,  Mindset.    We  ordered  the  new  device  but  it  would  come  next  week.  We  got  the  serial  number,  however,  

             

6.  Get  Unity  3D  License  To  integrate  devices  in  Unity  3D,     we  received  unity  3D  pro  license  from  ETC.    

                                                   

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

7.  Wiimote  gun  controller  test  We  received  two  gun  controllers  and  tested.  ,  The  rifle  is  a  little  heavy  and  a  little  hard  to  aim.,  An  overkill  hand  cannon  has  better  aim.  .    

     8  Perforce  Setup  

We  setup  Perforce  server  which  enables  us  faster  development.      

Things  we  will  do    1.  Game  Programming  

We  will  make  a  very  simple  prototype  to  show  in  half  presentation.    

2.  Art  Work  We  will  work  on  modeling  and  texturing.  

 3.  Game  Design    

We  will  design  our  game.  A  meeting  with  Jesse  on  Friday  will  help  us  to  develop  our  idea.    

4.  IR  sensor  bar    -­‐  Using  IR  LED  and  attach  on  the  screen    We  will  get  LED  light  and  test  this  method.

Week 6 (02-15-2010)

Things we did1. Review of Project in CS using brainwave device

Title: MIND READING: Analyzing EEG Data for Human-Aided Video Retrieval

The original intent was to use EEG signals to reduce the time required to physically mark an image as relevant; unfortunately, the classifier using thought alone performed poorly.

There was also noise issue. "Initially, there was great concern that the EEG signal would contain far too much noise to possibly yield any positive results." They solved it by "to combine many trials of the same mental action together". This project is not directly related to ours unless we use EEG.

2. Research on former ETC projects1) Augmented Cognition (2004)The website said that checking 'pupil' is not working well. However, we couldn’t find how they used biofeedback. Jesse, the advisor of the project, was out of town this week, so we will schedule to meet in next week.

2) Night of the Living Dead (2006)The website didn't show much information. Theme is similar but game is different. It’s ‘strategy horror game’. We don't need to request more information.

3) Review of Project of Serious game (2009)The program gathers data such as which path player goes, how many cans are picked up, and which action player does with the time during the game.

They made script to record the data, but it's not on the website. The programmer of the team, Amith, might still have it.

3. Purchase of Wiimote gunFor the gun, we think to use several guns in the game. We will try various models and find which will work properly.

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

1) Black + White Pistol Gun Controller for Wii Remote$8.82http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29212Looks ok and very cheap for two guns. It would be very light so easy to play.

2) 5-in-1 Laser Light Gun for Wii Remote$11.81http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.9642For calibration, it might be easier if we have a gun with laser pointer.

3) HOUSE OF THE DEAD OVERKILL HAND CANNON (WII)$35http://cgi.ebay.com/HOUSE-OF-THE-DEAD-OVERKILL-HAND-CANNON-WII-NEW_W0QQitemZ180463277821QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_Games_Accessories?hash=item2a047316fd It is official product for the famous gun shooting game ‘the house of the dead’. Quality will be good.

4) Wii Sniper Rifle Gun$36.07http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Sniper-Rifle-Gun-Nintendo/dp/B0031QBXJW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1266362365&sr=8-2It looks nice. We can take out parts and use different gun such as blaster, rifle.

4. Game Design 1) Game Engine – Unity 3DWe looked into Unity 3D engine as Lockheed Martin suggested. We think it can give us better graphics and easier programming rather than Panda3D. We will use Unity 3D.

2) Art style - RealisticBetween comedy (such as Zombies and Plants) and Realistic (Left 4 Dead), we choose realistic.We expect that it can give more immersive, scary feeling to the player.

3) Game background – 18th century EuropeIn 18th century Europe, Professional zombie hunter (knight) fights against zombies in Church with graveyard. The bad boss is the 'priest'.

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

Things we will do1. IR sensor bar

1) Discussion with Steve AudiaHe has a big screen at home. To play Wii, he uses a customized wii sensor as big as the size of the screen. We might consider making our own sensor bar. In last semester BVW, Mark’s team made a small IR light with 9V battery and Chris’ team used AA battery. We will ask them.

2) Commercial ProductThere is a safety glass with IR led flashlight. The second year student Sharkee has it. Yantong will contact him. We might take out IR light from the glass and put on the screen.

2. Game Design Based on our background, we will develop a game design and scenario. We hope that meeting with Jesse will give us some inspiration.

3. Game ProgrammingWe will try to make a very simple prototype such as shooting boxes as early as

possible.

1) Study Unity 3D engine.2) Integrating Unity 3D with IOM (GSR and heartbeat sensor).3) Integrating Unity 3D with Mindset (Brainwave).

3. Art WorkWe will develop concept art and modeling.

4. Purchase New deviceWhile we continue our research on device, we found a new device, Emotiv. It's faster and gives more data than our current device, Mindset. We would like to purchase and try this item. As this item provides SDK, it won’t be hard to develop a game with it. However, we have only 2 weeks to work until half presentation, we will continue our work on Mindset for in case.

http://www.emotiv.com/apps/sdk/179/

Price $500 including Software Developer Kit

Pros1) Fast data refresh rate Emotiv detections are mostly updated 4 times per second (Cognitiv, Affectiv, some Expressiv). Event-driven detections (such as blinks and winks) are output immediately after detection. If we receive raw EEG data or gyro

Lockheed Martin ETC Projects Spring 2010 Physion

signals, these are measured 128 times per second. EEG data is only available with Research, Education and Enterprise Plus licenses.

2) Various data detectionExpressiv: real-time detection of blinks, left/right winks, horizontal glances left/right, eyebrow raise, furrow, smile, smirk left/right, clench teeth, laugh

Affectiv: Excitement (short-term and long-term), Engagement/Boredom, Meditation, Frustration.

Cognitiv: NEUTRAL plus up to four trained actions selected from forward and backward motions on each of 3 axes, clockwise and anticlockwise rotations about each of 3 axes (12 detections)

Gyro: 2-axis gyro detects accelerations (nodding, shaking head)

EEG (Research, Education and Enterprise Plus licenses only): 14 channel data at 128 samples per second

Week  5  (02-­08-­2010)      

 

Things  we  did  1.  Prepare  presentation  

We  prepared  for  quarter  walkaround,  and  finished.  We  got  many  useful  advices  from  faculties.      

         2.  Item  Research    Besides  using  Wiimote,  laser  or  arcade  gun  can  be  considered.  As  ETC  didn t  have  controller,  we  found  several  gun  controller  on  internet.  In  addition,  we  would  research  on  Beyond  VR  and  Thought  Technology.    Attached    Physion  CIS  device  report    

Things  we  will  do  1.  Research  based  on  quarter  walkaround  feedback    

We  would  look  into  the  advices  from  faculty.    -­‐ Reference  to  former  ETC  project  Augmented  Cognition  F2004  Pittsburgh  Advisor:  Jesse    According  to  Jesse,  they  used  EEG  and  motion  capture.  They  didn't  know  what  they  are  doing  and  very  unsatisfied  as  well  as  their  client.  He  suggested  proving  that  it  is  fun  to  play  with  biofeedback.    -­‐>  We  would  make  prototype  and  check  it  from  next  week.  EEG  provides  extremly  complicated

When  disaster  came,  player  feel  embarrassing  then  player  should  try  to  calm.    -­‐  Suggestion  to  use  eye  tracking  device  -­‐>  It  is  not  biofeedback  and  Neurosky  is  already  on  the  head.  In  addition,  the  product  is  still  in  prototype  stage.  It's  not  reliable  yet.    Biofeedback  was  big  boom  a  few  years  ago.  However,  most  of  them  are  gone.      -­‐ Institute  of  Creative  Technology  in  University  of  Southern  California  does  many  military  

related  projects.  It  is  worth  to  searching.      

         2.  Research  on  former  ETC  projects  Faculties  suggested  to  research  on  former  ETC  projects.  Yantong  would  make  the  list  of  former  ETC  project  research  related  on  our  project.  We  would  research  on  those  and  talk  the  advisors  of  them.

Week  4  (02-­01-­2010)      

 

Things  we  did  1. Making  and  Deciding  Game  Proposal    

During  the  client  visit  on  Friday,  among  three  ideas,  we  decided  to  develop  the  third  idea  of  African  survival.  The  theme  is  clearer  and  game  would  be  more  intensive  than  other  ideas.  We  would  try  to  combine  with  the  first  idea  of  FPS.    The  second  idea  (jumping  game)  is  very  unique  and  good  to  show  technology.  However,  it  might  have  higher  learning  curve.    Besides  using  Wiimote,  laser  or  arcade  gun  can  be  considered.      1) FPS  shooting  game  

Use  gun  model  with  wiimote  to  aim.  

Biofeedback  augmented  with  various  weapons.  

Focused  brainwave  (Gamma  and  Beta)  make  aim  steady  with  sniper  rifle.  

Fast  heartbeat  enables  fast  fire  rate  of  machine  gun.  

Based  on  Galvanic  Skin  Response  (GSR),  excess  nervousness  would  blur  screen.  

Replenish  energy  when  player  relaxes.    

2) Balancing  jumping  game  (abstract,  space-­‐y  feel)  

Use  wiimote  to  balance.  

If  you  are  focusing,  the  floor  (jumping  panel)  becomes  wider.  

Stable  heartbeat  would  stabilize  the  floor  and  make  easier  to  balance.  

Nervousness  or  stress  would  delay  your  jumping  action.  

Character  would  jump  when  player  actually  jump,  using  HMD  sensor.  (We  will  not  use  HMD  but  just  the  HMD  sensor.)    

3) African  Survival  game  

Lockheed  Martin  ETC  Projects  Spring  2010  Physion  

 

     

Similar  to  FPS  shooting  game  except  you  only  have  one  weapon  and  tons  of  zombies.  

Increased  heart  rate  and  GSR  attract  wild  animals  and  you  will  need  to  shoot  more  of  them  to  stay  alive.  

Focus  brainwave  makes  your  aim  more  precise  and  vice  versa.  

Goal  is  to  survive  as  long  as  possible.      

   

2. Prepare  presentation  As  Lockheed  Martin  visited  Friday  02/05,  we  gave  quarter  presentations.  Also,  we  prepared  for  coming  quarter  presentation.  LM  suggested  giving  brief  explanation  of  GSR  because  some  of  audience  may  not  familiar  with  it  during  presentation.    

3. Item  Research    Upon  the  request  of  client,  we  researched  more  items  and  made  the  first  Device  Search  Report.  In  device  research,  price  criteria  are  relative.  If  we  think  that  it  is  good  device  with  very  high  price,  please  let  client  know  for  future  reference.  For  Lockheed  Martin,  it  might  not  be  expensive.    Attached  File:    Device  Search  Report    

4. Making  Demo  As  we  successfully  made  demo  program  using  Mindset  and  modified  the  data  mining  program  using  IOM,  we  showed  to  our  client.    

Things  we  will  do  1.  Making  and  Deciding  Game  Proposal    

As  we  decide  to  make  survival  shooting  game,  we  would  start  designing  game  scenario  and  game  play.    

         2.  Item  Research    Besides  using  Wiimote,  laser  or  arcade  gun  can  be  considered.  We  would  research  and  ask  technical  faculty.  In  addition,  we  would  research  on  Beyond  VR  and  Thought  Technology.    

3.  Prepare  presentation  As  quarter  presentation  is  coming,  we  would  prepare.

4.  Program  Stability    As  mindset  and  IOM  sensor  works  on  particular  system  and  need  some  time  to  operate,  we  would  try  to  program  stable  and  learn  how  to  use  in  our  game.

Week  3  (01-­25-­2010)      

 

Things  we  did  1. Making  Game  Proposal  

We  thought  of  3  potential  game  proposals.    1) FPS  shooting  game  

Use  gun  model  with  wiimote  to  aim.  

Biofeedback  augmented  with  various  weapons.  

Focused  brainwave  (Gamma  and  Beta)  make  aim  steady  with  sniper  rifle.  

Fast  heartbeat  enables  fast  fire  rate  of  machine  gun.  

Based  on  Galvanic  Skin  Response  (GSR),  excess  nervousness  would  blur  screen.  

Replenish  energy  when  player  relaxes.    

2) Balancing  jumping  game  (abstract,  space-­‐y  feel)  

Use  wiimote  to  balance.  

If  you  are  focusing,  the  floor  (jumping  panel)  becomes  wider.  

Stable  heartbeat  would  stabilize  the  floor  and  make  easier  to  balance.  

Nervousness  or  stress  would  delay  your  jumping  action.  

Character  would  jump  when  player  actually  jump,  using  HMD  sensor.  (We  will  not  use  HMD  but  just  the  HMD  sensor.)    

3) Zombie  Survival  game  (tongue  in  cheek,  think  Zombieland)  

Similar  to  FPS  shooting  game  except  you  only  have  one  weapon  and  tons  of  zombies.  

Increased  heart  rate  and  GSR  attract  zombies  and  you  will  need  to  shoot  more  of  them  to  stay  alive.

2. Building  Logo  and  Website  We  designed  a  logo,  halfsheet,  poster  and  website  to  put  on  ETC  homepage.  Website  address:  http://www.etc.cmu.edu/projects/lm-­‐motion/  Attached:  Halfsheet  design      

3. Item  Research    Body  media  and  wild  divine  arrived.  We  try  to  find  out  what  data  they  can  detect  and  how  to  extract  data.  Hardware  and  software  were  different  with  our  expectation.  We  tried  to  solve  the  problem  by  analyzing  code  and  contacting  manufacturing  company.

 3)  Body  Media  

Rachel  Jackson  Clinical  Research  Coordinator  412-­‐543-­‐1311  (office)  http://www.bodymedia.com    According  Body  Media,  

There  is  no  provided  SDK  or  way  to  get  raw  data  with  device  that  we  have  (GoWear).  

They  suggested  to  us  to  buy  another  product  of  theirs,  SenseWear  (BMS).  BMS  originally  costs  $3,500  including  professional  software.  After  university  discount,  it  became  $2,500.  There  might  be  a  little  room  for  price  negotiation.  

However,  both  of  GoWear  and  SenWear  can't  receive  data  in  real  time.  It  stores  data  and  upload  after  PC  connection.  

For  these  reasons,  we  might  not  use  Body  Media  and  just  return  the  item.  

   4)  Thought  Technology  

1-­‐800-­‐361-­‐3651  or  (514)  489-­‐8251

We  contacted  Mr.  Gordon  of  MindGrowth,  the  US  distributor.  Gordon  said  it  might  be  possible  to  get  raw  data.  We  sent  questions  to  Gordon  and  he  would  contact  the  software  developer.              http://www.mindgrowth.com/store/index.php?cPath=23  http://www.mindgrowth.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=1&products_id=34  

 

Things  we  will  do    

1. Making  Game  Proposal  Coming  week  is  due  date  of  2  game  proposal.  Based  on  the  feedback,  we  will  develop  the  ideas.    

2. Item  Research    The  program  and  use  of  devices  are  a  little  different  with  our  expectation.  We  will  find  what  data  they  can  detect  and  analyze  programming  code.  Then  we  can  find  out  how  to  extract  data  and  where  to  use.  In  additions,  in  case  if  we  can t  use  IOM,  we  would  contact  other  manufacturers.    

3. Prepare  presentation  As  quarter  presentation  is  coming,  we  would  prepare.

3)  Body  Media  

Rachel  Jackson  Clinical  Research  Coordinator  412-­‐543-­‐1311  (office)  http://www.bodymedia.com    According  Body  Media,  

There  is  no  provided  SDK  or  way  to  get  raw  data  with  device  that  we  have(GoWear).  

They  suggested  us  buy  another  product  of  theirs,  SenseWear(BMS).  BMS  originally  costs  $3500  including  professional  software.    There  might  be  a  little  room  for  price  negotiation.  

However,  both  of  them  can't  receive  data  in  real  time.  It  works  as  storing  and  uploading.      4)  Thought  Technology  

1-­‐800-­‐361-­‐3651  or  (514)  489-­‐8251  

It  costs  $2300  if  we  want  to  use  GSR  and  skin  temperature  sensor    

To  use,  an  encoder  and  a  sensors  is  required.  2-­‐channel  encoder  can  use  2  sensors.      -­‐ 2-­‐channel  encoder:  $  1700    -­‐ 5-­‐channel  encoder:  $  3000  -­‐ 10-­‐channel  encoder:  $  6000  

Various  sensors  are  available:  EEG,  EMG,  EKG,  Respiration,  Temperature,  etc.
