This paper outlines the development and evaluation of a wearable haptic game interface. The device differs from many traditional haptic feedback implementation in that it combines vibrotactile feedback with gesture based input, thus…

This paper outlines the development of a wearable game controller incorporating vibrotacticle haptic feedback that provides a low cost, versatile and intuitive interface for controlling digital games. The device differs from many…

In multiplayer cooperative video games, players traditionally use individual controllers, inferring others' actions through on-screen visuals and their own movements. This indirect understanding limits truly collaborative gameplay. Research…

This paper outlines the development of a sensory feedback device providing a tangible interface for controlling digital environments, in this example a flight simulator, where the intention for the device is that it is relatively low cost,…

With the rising interest in Virtual Reality and the fast development and improvement of available devices, new features of interactions are becoming available. One of them that is becoming very popular is hand tracking, as the idea to…

While shared autonomy offers significant potential for assistive robotics, key questions remain about how to effectively map 2D control inputs to 6D robot motions. An intuitive framework should allow users to input commands effortlessly,…

Navigating spaces is an embodied experience. Examples can vary from rescue workers trying to save people from natural disasters; a tourist finding their way to the nearest coffee shop, or a gamer solving a maze. Virtual reality allows these…

The mechanism of communication between users and devices is called interface. From time to time changes in interface significantly improve our work with computers even without any serious changes in programs themselves. Main ideas in PCs…

Understanding how players interact with the mobile game app on smartphone devices is important for game experts to develop and refine their app products. Conventionally, the game experts achieve their purposes through intensive user studies…

In recent years videogame companies have recognized the role of player engagement as a major factor in user experience and enjoyment. This encouraged a greater investment in new types of game controllers such as the WiiMote, Rock Band…

Human-Computer Interfaces have always played a fundamental role in usability and commands' interpretability of the modern software systems. With the explosion of the Artificial Intelligence concept, such interfaces have begun to fill the…

A player plays a game by sending messages into the game world using an interaction technique. These messages are then translated into actions performed on or by game objects towards achieving the game's objectives. A game's interaction…

Formal models of games help us account for and predict behavior, leading to more robust and innovative designs. While the games research community has proposed many formalisms for both the "game half" (game models, game description…

Game maps are useful for human players, general-game-playing agents, and data-driven procedural content generation. These maps are generally made by hand-assembling manually-created screenshots of game levels. Besides being tedious and…

Most digital bodily games focus on the body as they use movement as input. However, they also draw the player's focus away from the body as the output occurs on visual displays, creating a divide between the physical body and the virtual…

Shared control is a form of video gaming accessibility support that allows players with disabilities to delegate inaccessible controls to another person. Through interviews involving 14 individuals with lived experience of accessible gaming…

Hand gesture is a new and promising interface for locomotion in virtual environments. While several previous studies have proposed different hand gestures for virtual locomotion, little is known about their differences in terms of…

In this paper we examine methods for taking game-related information provided in one sensory modality and transforming it to another sensor modality in order to more effectively accommodate sensory-constrained players. We then consider…

The established way of interfacing with most computer systems is a mouse and keyboard. Hand gestures are an intuitive and effective touchless way to interact with computer systems. However, hand gesture based systems have seen low adoption…

This paper represents a game which interacts with humans via hand gesture movement. Nowadays, apps like this seem rare, and there seems to be a window opening for this kind of application to be more prevalent and useful in the near future.…
