Biometrics to improve methodologies on understanding player's gameplay experience
نویسنده
چکیده
Due to the specific characteristics of video games most of the established HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) methods of user research cannot be used the same way for video games. To address this, the research project presented here adapts methods suited for empirical research on video games. This will be based on utilising player’s physiological measures in conjunction with other user research methodologies such as observation, interview, think-aloud, heuristics and behavioural coding.

متن کاملUsing physiological measures in conjunction with other UX approaches for better understanding of the player's gameplay experiences
The goal of video games is to challenge and entertain the players. Successful video games deliver experience that impact players on a level of arousal. Therefore undertaking a user experience (UX) study is crucial to ensure that a game achieves both critical and financial success.

متن کاملProm Week: Designing past the game/story dilemma
New player experiences require new game designs – and some designs only become possible with new technology. Emergent narratives are part of existing story games but the game systems are not capable of understanding the stories their players create. If we could capture the enjoyable aspects of player-driven narratives while still keeping the complex dynamism of sandbox games, we could enable a ...
متن کاملFast, low resource, head detection and tracking for interactive applications
This paper presents a real time, low resource, head tracking system. This system is used for a broad range of applications, the simplest being the control of a car in an arcade racing game. Another use of this system is the improvement of the gameplay of an adventure game. A more advanced application is the detection of the player's attentional state using a simple attention model in an attenti...
