Purpose of the study

In this study we are interested in observing the influence content positioning (game objects such as statue) has over players' movement. You will be given a level selected at random from three different configurations and your goal as a player is to find the exit. We will be recoding your in-game position and orientation at every second. We will also use this data to build models of different player types, which can then be used as test cases to guide game-level design.

Time

This study should take from 5 to 10 minutes.

Dissemination of Results

We expect to disseminate the results of the research conducted for this project through doctoral dissertations, conference presentations and publications in conference proceedings and journals, potentially including on-line appendices. We also expect to demonstrate the simulation in conferences and make it available on-line.
