31. Understanding Barriers for Use Select game for health or monitoring Identify metrics/evaluation Use game regularly for 4 weeks Document progress

32. Understanding Barriers for Use Select game for health or monitoring Identify metrics/evaluation Use game regularly for 4 weeks Document progress At least 3 iterations on data

33. Understanding Barriers for Use 4th Year Senior: “This is the best assignment ever!” …4 weeks later… “I never want to play my wii again!” Senior: “I do not care how many points I get, I do not want to log all of my steps.” Graduate Student: “I only used the mobile version because the input was easier.” … “Truthfully, I only continued playing because I had to for the assignment.”
