MOTION INPUT GAMING.

To ensure the effectiveness, efficiency, and user-friendliness of all functionalities, our development process included comprehensive testing and feedback mechanisms. Each functionality underwent rigorous testing by the team members responsible for its development, supplemented by evaluations from other teams and a diverse group of potential users. This approach provided valuable insights throughout the development phase. We conducted performance tests to evaluate the system's efficiency, alongside user acceptance tests designed for various game modes. Overall, the iterative testing and review process helped to ensure that each aspect of the system met our high standards of operation and user experience.

We asked 4 testers to play games using our MFCs and asked them to rate on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest and 1 being the lowest) their level of engagement and usability. Some of them even provided feedback which has been collated in the following table. Please note that our testers chose to opt-out from being named in this process and therefore, shall remain anonymous.

From this iterative test and feedback mechanism, we came to certain conclusions:

For driving games, speech commands helped de-clutter the amount of on-screen buttons and testers felt that apart from turning , rest of the movements were smooth and fluid. The General Driving MFC was convenient for the testers by letting them launch any game they want from a simple dropdown. Provision of left and right joystick positions helped users who wanted a different layout.

The multiple bodypoints gave testers a wide range of options of bodypoints to choose from, but most stuck with either hands or elbows.

Sonic provided testers with a quick-paced game that had simple controls but tricky levels at the same time. Enabling speech commands with on-screen buttons hepled them effectively time their movements.

Lego Avengers and Batman are big and complex games and hence had a bit of learning curve. However, after some time the testers thoroughly enjoyed playing these games.

Independent from all the games, we found that some testers did not like the skeleton silhoutte when using MotionInput, so we provided them with two visual modes: Ghost mode and Bodypoints Visualiser mode. Ghost mode allows users to see themselves while playing, with the option to manage the opacity of this camera video. Bodypoints Visualiser maps the chosen bodypoints (i.e. hands or elbows) as dots on the screen.
