  • Abstract
    It seems that playing digital games can have both positive and negative effects on the body and the mind. Therefore, recognition of the environmental adjustment levels of mind and body caused by playing digital games is important for scientific studies in physiology, psychology, sociology, and informatics, etc. If these effects are understood, there is a possibility of greatly influencing game development and play in a positive manner. In this research, Pulse waves of the body were measured and analyzed in various environments. Some tendency of change in mental state to these different environments was noted. If we can learn more about the influence on environmental adjustment levels of the mind and body caused by playing digital games we may be able to use this learning in future games development.
