The role of input devices in the gaming experience
Pages 289 - 291
Abstract
Motivation -- To define user experience within the gaming environment and understand the role of input devices.
Research approach -- An empirical methodology based on ethnographic studies, interviews and grounded theory is used to define user experience. A design approach will be used to evaluate user experience.
Findings/Design -- Partial results identify the user experience while playing videogames as Gameplay and environment with an experience builder which was called puppetry.
Research limitations/Implications -- The use of user narratives as the main source of data based on Dewey's experience theory can be considered controversial.
Originality/Value -- This research aims at understanding mechanisms to assessing user experience.
