      Emotion recognition for exergames using Laban movement analysis 

      Zacharatos, H.; Gatzoulis, C.; Chrysanthou, Yiorgos L.; Aristidou, Andreas (2013)
      Exergames do not have the capacity to detect whether the players are really enjoying the game-play. The games are not intelligent enough to detect significant emotional states and adapt accordingly in order to offer a ...
