Abstract

Technologic development brings new ways of interaction and participation in a digital environment, where games are an important feature. A digital narrative should allow users to experience aesthetic categories that may stimulate an immersion process. Aiming to relate these categories with current interaction practices from games, this case study evaluates how the kinect technology allows users to control contents through their bodies and voices.
