Physical e-Sports in VAIR Field system

Abstract

In this study, we define physical e-sports that require physical training and show an example of such sport created using a mobile virtual reality system, the VAIR Field. Unlike conventional e-sports, physical e-sports involve physical activities, becoming the technological evolution of conventional sports. Our system uses extended reality technology without a head-mounted display and is safe for children to play, but it requires physical exercise and physical ability. It is a new kind of sport that uses multiple mobile devices and virtual weapons, providing more than just visual reality and allowing multiple players to play at the same time. By superimposing the physical world and the virtual world, physical e-sports allow the body to move with full force.
