Evaluation of Nano-stick, Foam Buttons, and Other Input Methods for Gameplay on Touchscreen Phones

چکیده
Two user studies evaluated gameplay on a touchscreen phone. A “run and gun” study compared a nanostick, foam buttons, a soft gamepad, and a Wii Remote. User performance was measured using Metal Slug on an Android phone. The Wii Remote performed best (fewer player deaths, lower completion times), the soft gamepad worst. The nano-stick was second best, but was rated on a par with the Wiimote by participants. The second study used a fighting game. The same input methods (minus the foam buttons) were tested for the number of successful combos. No significant differences were observed between the input methods. Comfort and suitability of the nanostick were praised by participants in the freeform feedback.
