In recent years, the increased availability and reduced cost of sensor systems have led to a plethora of wearables such as smart sport watches that can track exertion activities. Sensors are now also embedded in sports clothing and game console accessories to monitor activity or stimulate gaming. Technical advancements like these have led to an increased interest into exertion experiences by the research community, resulting in the term Sports-HCI. Often, human-computer interaction around exercise and health make the underlying assumption that the human body can be seen as a machine, only...

Food is not only fundamental to our existence, its consumption, handling or even the mere sight of its also brings us immense joy.
