- Abstract
The popularity of the computer games are increasing every day. Spending time in front of the computers with almost no physical activity causes many health related problems. Recent technologies such as Kinect sensors may have the potential to reduce the physical side effects of the computer games. Nevertheless the physical emotional effects of playing computer games with the Kinect on users are still not clear. The effects of playing computer games with without Kinect were compared in the study with prospective teachers studying at the Education Faculty located in Zonguldak Turkey in . The mixed method research design was used to explore the research questions. The game playing motivation scale self-reported muscular activity figure structured interview questions were used to collect data. Besides t-test descriptive analyses of the qualitative quantitative data were conducted for analysis. Findings revealed that using the games with Kinect sensors improved users' motivation muscular activity. Also the Kinect has changed game players' opinions on games. Further research should investigate the correlation between the motivation emotional effects of the Kinect use on computer game players.
