Abstract

We realized the combination of exercising and mobile gaming by developing a location based fitness game for series 60 mobile phones. The game utilizes a Bluetooth GPS receiver. This paper illustrates the concept of the Fitness Adventure prototype and presents the main motives for design. The preliminary results of the user experiences are also described in the paper.
