Movement Empowerment in a Multiplayer Mixed-Reality Trampoline Game
summary
A networked trampoline system exaggerates jump height to give players clear, controllable superhuman movement; the team builds a dual-trampoline setup with a display, camera tracking and proprietary software called the Valojump platform, connects two rigs over a network to avoid shared-trampoline injury, and ships a game called Super Stomp that logs play and sensory effects. An in-the-wild session with 26 participants shows higher autonomy, competence and relatedness and sustained engagement while maintaining safety.
