“…In any game, there is a theoretically infinite number of actions that get mapped to a finite number of buttons based on the system. The complexity of this mapping process can be referred to as control dimensionality (CD) Mustaquim and Nyström (2014). One of our previous studies explored the control dimensionality of different controller types and used that as a basis for designing a new controller for persons with upper limb deficiencies Hassan et al (2022).…”

This study proposes a modular platform to improve the adoption of gamification in conventional physical rehabilitation programs. The effectiveness of rehabilitation is correlated to a patient’s adherence to the program. This adherence can be diminished due to factors such as motivation, feedback, and isolation. Gamification is a means of adding game-like elements to a traditionally non-game activity. This has been shown to be effective in providing a more engaging experience and improving adherence. The platform is made of three main parts; a central hardware hub, various wired and wireless sensors, and a software program with a stream-lined user interface. The software interface and hardware peripherals were all designed to be simple to use by either a medical specialist or an end-user patient without the need for technical training. A usability study was performed using a group of university students and a group of medical specialists. Using the System Usability Scale, the system received an average score of 69.25 ± 20.14 and 72.5 ± 17.16 by the students and medical specialists, respectively. We also present a framework that attempts to assist in selecting commercial games that are viable for physical rehabilitation.

“…To introduce the design criteria we first have to familiarize the reader with the concept of Control Dimensionality (CD). CD is a method to measure or represent a game's control complexity [24], [25]. CD scores can be calculated by assigning a score for each executable action and summing the result.…”

Joy-Pros: A Gaming Prosthesis to Enable Para-Esports for Persons With Upper Limb Deficiencies

et al. 2022

We present an investigation on game controller technology to enable para-esports. First, we present a review of the related literature on the information capacity of the human motor systems in pointing tasks and the evaluation of gaming controllers as pointing devices. Then we propose design criteria for controllers to enables para-esports in terms of target users, controller throughput, cognitive load, and comfort. Finally, we introduce the proposed controller with its rationale and functionality. We argue that the proposed controller is suitable to enable para-esports for persons with upper limb deficiencies because it enables bimanual control of video games like conventional controllers, and due to the achievable throughput and control dimensionality. The conducted experiments address the performance of the developed controller in terms of throughput and latency, and a qualitative evaluation with healthy users using the controller for the first time and with a pilot tester with upper limb deficiency. We conclude that similar to para-sports, paraesports will have to be organized in classes that consider the game type and the type of physical disability of the athletes, and each class will require a controller suitable for its content and participants.INDEX TERMS Para-esports, Prosthetics, Human augmentation.
