Abstract
This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of using motion sensing interactive games as a means of promoting road safety awareness among university students. Taking the game “TROUBLE” developed in this study as an example, the game utilizes the gyroscope of mobile phones to simulate motorcycle handlebar control, allowing players to engage in motion sensing interaction and simulate real driving scenarios on Taiwanese roads. The objective is to enhance users’ road experience and reinforce defensive driving concepts. The study targets university students who are either preparing to obtain or have recently obtained a motorcycle license, and focuses on reproducing game scenarios based on hazardous road segments in Taichung. Future plans involve conducting user tests and collecting feedback through questionnaires, as well as assessing differences in users’ awareness and application of traffic safety rules before and after using the game, in order to analyze whether the app’s impact on users aligns with the research objectives.
