abstract = "Incorporating physical activity and exertion into pervasive
gaming applications can provide health and social
benefits. Prior research has resulted in several
prototypes of pervasive games that encourage exertion
as interaction form; however, no detailed critical
account of the various approaches exists. We focus
on networked exertion games and detail some of our
work while identifying the remaining issues towards
providing a coherent framework. We outline common
lessons learned and use them as the basis for generalizations
for the design of networked exertion games.
We propose possible directions of further investigation,
hoping to provide guidance for future work to
facilitate greater awareness and exposure of exertion
games and their benefits."
