“…The travel task used these functions most intensely, and control schemes that used the mouse had the highest scores. The preference for mouse input perhaps not surprising, given that prior research that also found mouse input to be faster and more accurate than HMD input [43][44][45][46].…”

“…Given that control schemes were the focus of our study, we avoided introducing another layer of novelty by using non-standard controllers. Mouse and keyboard have the additional advantages of increased accuracy and speed as compared to other input devices such as gamepads, wands, gesture and positional tracking [43][44][45][46].…”

“…A comparative analysis of modern gaming input devices is available at [16]: users were asked to perform a shooting task and performance measurements with four devices. Results show that the mouse is still the best tool, while the game controller remains in a close second position.…”

Abstract-Commercial off-the-shelf gaming devices (e.g. such as Kinect) are demonstrating to have a great potential beyond their initial service purpose. In particular, when integrated within the environment or as part of smart objects, peripheral COTS for gaming may facilitate the definition of novel interaction methods, particularly applicable to smart spaces service concepts. In this direction, this paper describes a system prototype that makes possible to deliver multimodal interaction with the media contents in a Virtual Window. Using a Kinect device, the Interactive Window itself adjusts the video clipping to the real time perspective of the user -who can freely move within the sensor coverage are. On the clipped video, the user is able to select objects by pointing at meaningful image sections and to initiate actions related to them. Voice orders may also complete the interaction when necessary. Although implemented for smart spaces, the service concept can also be applied to learning, remote control processes or teleconference.

“…Simulation and analysis of 3D Fitts' testing has highlighted increased performance of mice and traditional console controllers over open-gesture capture devices (such as the Microsoft Kinect and Sony Move). These devices were also shown to require a heightened spatial awareness than that of the traditional mouse and controller interface (Zaranek, 2014) and were therefore not considered for our experiment. Here, we have concerned ourselves with the 3D application of control in in-game environments, which also requires consideration of the zero-and first-system ordering of sensor modalities that are distributed between the left and right effectors of the body.…”

This chapter presents an investigation that compares the performance of game controllers in two-dimensional pointing tasks as defined in the international standard that specifies the requirements for nonkeyboard input devices, ISO 9241-9. In addition, we discuss the evaluation of usability and user experience with these devices during gameplay. We compared performance measurements for controllers while varying the user's exposure to the different feedback elements contained within each controller device. We assessed the performance of the controllers according to the ISO 9241-9 evaluation recommendations. The devices used in the study included a Logitech mouse and keyboard, a Logitech Bluetooth Touchpad and keyboard, a Sony Playstation DualShock 4 controller, and Valve's first-generation Steam controller. Besides performance testing, we measured user experiences with the controllers while playing a popular first-person video game. Participants were asked to complete game levels for each type of controller and answer questions outlining their experience. ORGANIZATION/INSTITUTION BACKGROUND The case studies contained within this chapter were undertaken at the Logitech Design Lab in Cork, Ireland, in collaboration with the Department of Computer Science at University College Cork. Logitech is a world leader in products that connect people to the digital experiences they care about. Their products span multiple computing, communication, and entertainment platforms. Logitech-gaming products include mice, keyboards, headsets, and gaming controllers. University College Cork was founded in 1845 and is the academic home of the founder of Boolean Logic, George Boole.
