Exertion
Interfaces for Sports over a Distance Technology has an established pedigree in helping to foster bonds between people over large distances. Most solutions provide some kind of medium for communication but do not adequately support the challenging task of getting people who don't know each other to interact in the first place. This paper suggests that an exertion interface, which requires intense physical effort from the participants, will create a better social bonding experience than traditional computer interfaces. To test this assertion, we created a system in which two remotely-located participants can play a soccer-like sports game against each other. The results generated will inform the creation of future interfaces that encourage bonding between remote individuals.
