A framework for the manipulation of video game elements using the player's biometric data

Abstract

The following dissertation focuses on the use of several biometric signals produced by the human being (in this specific case, the player) to manipulate several elements present in a game. These elements are composed by the game mechanics, soundtrack, visual assets, enemies and NPCs' artificial intelligence, dialogues and narrative sequences. To do such, this work presents a framework for the development of a supporting structure meant for games that wish to use this type of interaction mechanism as well as the implementation of a prototype using the said framework.
