The expense is probably prohibitive using commercial solutions (Xbox/PS2/Konami/Roxor). I have several students in the CompSci department working on freeware versions for PC/Mac.

There's definite potential in DDR for schools. I'm not sure the WV approach is a winner but you have to start some where.

I've placed systems in two schools and given PS2s to over 90 kids for research.
I'm not sure metal pads are the way to go unless you fork over mad cash for TX4000 or CobaltFlux.

Well, at least one of the hosts is game enough to give it a try.

Once again.
If they sued the makers of StepMania for lost profits or whatever, they would also have to sue everyone who imports DDR machines, or they would be hypocrites. They wouldn't do that, sin ... |

Actually this study is extremely well designed. We are not limiting use to the Workout mode (that wouldn't be very "natural" for the typical kid). I've spent the past 4 months field testing Xbox/Ult ... |
