Abstract
This paper investigates the use of barometric pressure sensors in combination with accelerometer data as a viable way to track the activity level of players in a fast-paced exercise game using a football to motivate the participants. A fitness game was developed along with a prototype intelligent ball with the aim of tracking both the skill level and the level of activity for the users. The initial findings indicate that the sensor fusion of barometric pressure data and accelerometer data proves reliable in the fast-paced setting of football games. Furthermore, the constructed prototype foam exercise ball proved a reliable container to house both the sensor and computational devices in a safe manner and could be useful for further tests on other aspects of combining gaming and physical exercise.
