Investigating Players' Social Interactions in IOT Board Games

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technology with board games to enhance social interaction among players. Given the widespread application of IoT in various domains, incorporating it into board games can offer more intricate gameplay mechanisms and a broader array of interactions. Subsequent to gameplay, interviews will be conducted to gather players' reflections on the gaming process and their motivations for engaging with different players. This study anticipates that the interdisciplinary board game, combined with IoT technology integration, will further augment the diversity and richness of social interaction among players.
