چکیده

The paper introduces an investigation on player and virtual environment interaction. A computer game (spaceship navigation through randomly flying asteroids) with different levels of difficulty was created in order to elicit and test human emotions when playing. Emotional responses (excitement, frustration, and engagement/boredom) to the computer game were recorded using Emotiv Epoc device. Spaceship manoeuvring speed and acceleration were included in the investigation as well. Significant relationships between some of the personality traits, emotional reactions and manoeuvring characteristics were found. Emotional responses were significantly increasing when the density of asteroids was increasing. Excitement and frustration signals showed correlations when gaming. Significant increase in manoeuvring speed and acceleration were observed after spaceship and asteroid collision. Positive correlations were found between extraversion and excitement during experiment. The gaming experience and manoeuvring acceleration was strongly negatively related when the difficulty of the game was lower and strongly positively related when it was higher.

Interaction Manifestations in Multi-player Games

This chapter describes the findings of ethnographical research which elaborates and analyses the interaction forms of a contemporary multi-player game. The motivation for the research originates from the issue that the lack of intuitive and non-intrusive interaction cues is one of the distinctive features separating shared virtual environment settings from face-to-face encounters. The analysis ...

Non-Verbal Communication Forms in Multi- player Game Session

The lack of intuitive and non-intrusive non-verbal cues is one of the distinctive features that separate computer-mediated communication settings from face-to-face encounters. The analysis of the non-verbal communication forms in a multi-player game session indicates that the participants of collaborative virtual environment can effectively use various forms of non-verbal communication to reduc...

Rich Interaction Model for Game and Virtual Environment Design

The focus of this thesis is on perceivable interaction forms that can be utilised in multi-player computer games and Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs). Interaction forms are manifestations of user-user and user-environment interaction. These forms convey the actions of the user to others, and to oneself, during synchronous communication and interaction partially resembling face-to-face ...
