# 비트 세이버(Beat Saber) 엑서게임 연구

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 VR rhythm game 이 매 moderate-intensity exercise 와 metabolically 동등"**. Beat Saber 는 2018년 출시 이후 가장 활발히 연구된 exergame 으로, 2024-2025 년 다수의 RCT 가 Quest 3 환경에서 7-10 METs 의 energy expenditure 를 reproduce — 매 elliptical / cycling 과 비교 가능한 수준.

## 매 핵심

### 매 측정 metric
- **METs (Metabolic Equivalent of Task)**: 매 1 MET = 매 resting energy expenditure.
- **Heart rate reserve %HRR**: 매 (HR - HR_rest) / (HR_max - HR_rest).
- **EE (Energy Expenditure)** kcal/min — 매 indirect calorimetry 매 표준.
- **RPE (Rating of Perceived Exertion)** Borg 6-20 scale.

### 매 주요 findings (2020-2025 RCT 종합)
- **Expert mode**: 매 7-10 METs (vigorous, ACSM 정의 ≥6).
- **Hard mode**: 매 5-7 METs (moderate-vigorous).
- **Normal mode**: 매 3-5 METs (moderate).
- **Easy mode**: 매 2-3 METs (light).
- 매 song selection effect — 매 BPM 130+ 이 매 dominant predictor.

### 매 응용
1. **Cardiac rehab adjunct** — 매 supervised setting 에서 elliptical 대체.
2. **Adolescent obesity intervention** — 매 adherence 매 traditional cardio 보다 3x.
3. **Office wellness program** — 매 15-min sessions, 매 meeting break.

## 💻 패턴

### Energy expenditure estimation (research protocol)
```python
# 매 indirect calorimetry — 매 K5 metabolic cart
import numpy as np

def calculate_mets(vo2_ml_kg_min: float) -> float:
    """매 ACSM standard: 1 MET = 3.5 ml O2 / kg / min"""
    return vo2_ml_kg_min / 3.5

def session_summary(vo2_samples_ml_kg_min, duration_min):
    avg_vo2 = np.mean(vo2_samples_ml_kg_min)
    mets = calculate_mets(avg_vo2)
    # 매 EE kcal/min = METs * 3.5 * weight_kg / 200
    return {
        "mean_mets": mets,
        "intensity_class": classify(mets),
        "duration_min": duration_min,
    }

def classify(mets):
    if mets >= 6: return "vigorous"
    if mets >= 3: return "moderate"
    return "light"
```

### HR data extraction (Polar H10 + Quest pulse log)
```typescript
// 매 Quest 3 native HR (Q3 2024 add) + Polar 매 ground truth
interface HRSample {
  timestamp_ms: number;
  bpm: number;
  source: "quest_native" | "polar_h10";
}

function timeInZone(samples: HRSample[], hrMax: number) {
  const zones = { z1: 0, z2: 0, z3: 0, z4: 0, z5: 0 };  // 매 % HRmax
  for (const s of samples) {
    const pct = s.bpm / hrMax;
    if (pct < 0.6) zones.z1++;
    else if (pct < 0.7) zones.z2++;
    else if (pct < 0.8) zones.z3++;
    else if (pct < 0.9) zones.z4++;
    else zones.z5++;
  }
  return zones;
}
```

### RCT power analysis (G*Power equivalent)
```r
# 매 within-subject crossover design
library(pwr)

# 매 expected Cohen's d = 0.6 (medium-large)
# 매 alpha = 0.05, power = 0.8
pwr.t.test(d = 0.6, sig.level = 0.05, power = 0.8,
           type = "paired", alternative = "two.sided")
# 매 n = 24 매 minimum

# 매 ANOVA 4-mode comparison (Easy/Normal/Hard/Expert)
pwr.anova.test(k = 4, f = 0.3, sig.level = 0.05, power = 0.8)
# 매 n = 32 per group
```

### Song-level intensity feature extraction
```python
# 매 Beat Saber map (.dat) 매 parse
import json

def map_intensity(map_path: str) -> dict:
    with open(map_path) as f:
        m = json.load(f)
    notes = m["_notes"]
    duration_beats = max(n["_time"] for n in notes)
    notes_per_beat = len(notes) / duration_beats
    return {
        "nps": notes_per_beat,           # 매 notes/beat
        "directional_changes": _dir_changes(notes),
        "swing_distance": _swing_dist(notes),
    }
# 매 nps > 6 매 strong predictor of vigorous-intensity session
```

### Adherence tracking (8-week intervention)
```sql
-- 매 daily play log
CREATE TABLE bs_session (
  user_id UUID,
  date DATE,
  duration_min INT,
  avg_hr INT,
  songs_played INT,
  primary_difficulty TEXT,
  PRIMARY KEY (user_id, date)
);

-- 매 weekly adherence rate
SELECT user_id,
       COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE duration_min >= 20) / 7.0 AS adherence_rate
FROM bs_session
WHERE date >= NOW() - INTERVAL '7 days'
GROUP BY user_id;
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 목적 | 권장 setup |
|---|---|
| Vigorous cardio replacement | Expert mode, BPM 150+, 30 min |
| Moderate adherence-friendly | Hard mode, mixed BPM, 20 min |
| Cardiac rehab (supervised) | Normal mode, BPM 120-140 |
| Adolescent obesity | Mixed mode, gamified streak |
| Research protocol | Indirect calorimetry + Polar H10 |

**기본값**: Hard mode, 20 min/day, 5 days/week — 매 ACSM moderate-intensity guideline 충족.

## 🔗 Graph

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: VR fitness intervention 설계, 매 exergame energy expenditure 추정, 매 RCT power analysis.
**언제 X**: 매 clinical exercise prescription (매 physician 영역), 매 individual cardiovascular risk 진단.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Self-report only**: 매 indirect calorimetry / HR 없이 매 RPE 만 — 매 systematic underestimate.
- **Single-mode generalization**: Expert RCT 결과를 매 모든 user 일반화 — 매 skill ceiling 무시.
- **Quest native HR uncritical use**: 매 wrist-PPG 가 high-intensity 에서 매 5-15 bpm error.
- **No washout in crossover**: 매 fatigue carryover effect 무시.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Bock et al. 2020 Games for Health J, Schmidt et al. 2024 JMIR Serious Games, ACSM 2024 exergame position stand).
- 신뢰도 A — 매 5+ RCT replication.
