Air Tandem: A Collaborative Bodily Game Exploring Interpersonal Synchronization

In this paper we introduce a game design that utilizes the synchronization and flow of the movement in contrast to the pace of movement (speed) utilized in many exertion games. We present Air Tandem, a bodily game that explorers synchronized limb movements to move a shared avatar from a start to a finish line on a projected route. The game is designed for a two player team. In the future we plan to use this game to gain insight on the sensory cues the players use to achieve synchrony.
