Abstract

We present a user study that begins to explore aspects of players experience in first person games that use 3D gestures for interaction. Our study uses Wizard of Wii, a video game prototype that has players perform a set of 25 distinct gestures over the course of four different game quests using the Nintendo Wii Remote. Our results indicate that players' ability to recall gestures improved with repeated play and they believed themselves to be performing better in the game. However, while the recognition accuracy improved significantly with repeated play, players were unable to perceive the difference.
