| Group-Based Digital Gaming | Behavioral | The interactive digital gaming activity is delivered using Obie Technology. Various games are projected onto the table's surface, and participants interacted with them by "touching" the images with their hands. The system included sensors that detected hand movements, making the activity fully interactive. More than 200 games are available. Some examples of the popular games include Mahjong, in which participants match identical tiles by touching them, and Around the World, in which participants identify the correct objects based on the country's flag, such as selecting a double-decker London bus for the United Kingdom. For many games, difficulty levels are adjustable, which is especially useful for games that involves math. Games are chosen based on participants' requests as well as facilitators' recommendations. |
