The Work package 1 (Sports Games) activities have officially started, and after a break of many years, FrostBit’s tech-team visited the Sports Lab and Testing & Training facilities at the sports institute. We tested and examined the equipment that will be worked on. First, we will start with the development of the Testing & Training environment.
Currently, the Rodby motion platform in the Testing & Training environment is mainly used for skiing training. The space has cameras that capture the athlete’s movement. In addition, a variety of sensor data can be utilized during use, such as from a heart rate monitor.
We are starting to develop a sports game suitable for the environment, which can be used to expand the purpose of use to new sports; for example to gamify them! Ideas have already taken flight, and the implementation format will be decided during a definition workshop in February.
