Using the pattern
Designing for Physical Enactment in games consist mainly of identifying which actions should be enacted in this way and how the game state should be able to be updated by these actions. One potential reason to limit certain actions is to avoid or require Player Physical Prowess, another is the appropriateness of players actually doing these actions. Dexterity-Based Actions and Physical Navigation are to examples of action categories that can be used as the basis for Physical Enactment. Combining Mediated Gameplay with Physical Enactment as for example Kinect-based games and the Rock Band series do requires the use of some kind of sensors, and give rise to Mimetic Interfaces.
Physical Enactment can be augmented in various ways since these games many times want to be able to convey information between players while they are enacting actions. Examples include using Meta-Postures and Prompting Techniques.
One reason for using Physical Enactment is to make Roleplaying into Live Action Roleplaying. While weakening Enactment, Substitute Actions can make otherwise unsuitable categories of actions (e.g. violence or sex) possible to be present in games.
Diegetic Aspects
All players need to engage in Physical Enactment for Live Action Roleplaying to have Diegetic Consistency. This means that Physical Enactment can instantiate that pattern but it is a fragile solution since it requires the cooperation and successful performance of all players.
Interface Aspects
Enactment is an Interface Pattern.
Consequences
Rather obviously, Physical Enactment is a form of Enactment.
