Abstract

Electronic game research is a comprehensive study that spans across many disciplinary fields. This paper attempts to summarize the theories related to electronic game research from the perspectives of perceptual phenomenology and ludology. It discusses the impact and changes of video games on players’ body schema and aims to refine the related concepts of the game body, in order to propose a theoretical framework for the body schema of gaming. The game body can be seen as a collection of mediated senses, and the process of players forming a play body schema is the process of the player’s body merging with the game body. The analysis of the body schema of gaming helps game designers, players, and researchers better understand the process of translating procedures into game mechanics and generating unique gaming experiences, providing new insights for the research and development of electronic games.
