Biometrics to Improve Methodologies on Understanding Player’s Gameplay Experience

Due to the specific characteristics of video games most of the established HCI (Human-Computer Interaction) methods of user research cannot be used the same way for video games. To address this, the research project presented here adapts methods suited for empirical research on video games. This will be based on utilising player’s physiological measures in conjunction with other user research methodologies such as observation, interview, think-aloud, heuristics and behavioural coding.
