Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This study explored interactions between users and a 3D virtual world using a multi-touch display and sought to identify the advantages of this form of interaction. An experiment was conducted with 28 subjects, who were classified into two groups: experienced gamers and casual gamers. The experiment involved a pseudo-universe, where users were required to find five objects using the multi-touch display, and five objects using a game controller (GamePad). Overall, multi-touch was slightly faster than the GamePad in the search for objects. Experienced users performed significantly better when using the GamePad, compared to casual gamers. When casual gamers were analyzed separately, their performance was better (at a statistically significant level) with the multi-touch display, compared to the GamePad. Finally, users had a significantly higher error rate when switching from the GamePad to the keyboard, than when switching from the multi-touch to the keyboard.
