“…Indeed, a few studies in HCI looking at temporal performance in games have found large differences among input devices. In particular, they have found that gaming performance can be up to 150% worse in playing with a touchscreen device rather than a physical controller [5,42,43]. We argue later in this paper that these differences are not trivially attributable to latencies or tactile feedback.…”

“…Techniques such as IA that are motivated by motor control literature may complement the gains achieved in these areas. Furthermore, it could address well-known performance impairments reported for touchscreen gaming [3,36,37].…”

“…This suggests that any asynchrony between perceived and real moment of activation may be amplified at high rates. Studies have found that user performance can vary up to 150%, depending on the input device used in playing the given game [3,37,36]. Our hypothesis is that different devices and input methods cause different levels of asynchrony, which may be alleviated with impact activation.…”

The activation point of a button is defined as the depth at which it invokes a make signal. Regular buttons are activated during the downward stroke, which occurs within the first 20 ms of a press. The remaining portion, which can be as long as 80 ms, has not been examined for button activation for reason of mechanical limitations. The paper presents a technique and empirical evidence for an activation technique called Impact Activation, where the button is activated at its maximal impact point. We argue that this technique is advantageous particularly in rapid, repetitive button pressing, which is common in gaming and music applications. We report on a study of rapid button pressing, wherein users' timing accuracy improved significantly with use of Impact Activation. The technique can be implemented for modern push-buttons and capacitive sensors that generate a continuous signal.

“…Chu and Wong [3] report that players almost unanimously preferred physical controls over virtual controls. Tilt input, on the other hand, may leverage proprioception which can help compensate for missing tactile feedback [15].…”

We conducted a study comparing two touch-based and two tiltbased game control methods using a Pong-like game over two one-hour sessions. Each input method was compared by order of control: position-control and velocity-control. Participants' performance was assessed for game-level reached and how frequently the ball was missed. Results indicate that order of control is a greater determinant of performance than input method. For both position-control modes (tilt and touch), participants reached game-levels roughly twice as high as with the velocity-control modes. Miss rates were about 40% higher with the velocity-control modes than with position-control.
