9. How Applicable is Your Evaluation Methods–Really? : Analysis and Re-design of Evaluation Methods for Fun and Entertainment

Author

Wiberg, Charlotte, Jegers, Kalle, and Desurvire, Heather

Subjects
Interaction Technologies, Interaktionsteknik
Abstract

This paper presents an approach to analyze and re-design evaluation methods. The domain explored in this paper is evaluation methods for evaluating fun and entertainment. However, the approach presented may be applied in other domains as well. The approach is conceptually described and two examples of processes where the approach were used in practice are further discussed. As the map of IT applications and digital media is continuously redesigned, there is a constant need of re-designing evaluation methods.

Abstract

The emerging field of game user research (GUR) investigates interaction between players and games and the surrounding context of play. Game user researchers have explored methods from, for example, human-computer interaction, psychology, interaction design, media studies, and the social sciences. They've extended and modified these methods for different types of digital games, such as social games, casual games, and serious games. This article focuses on quantitative analytics of in-game behavioral user data and its emergent use by the GUR community. The article outlines open problems emerging from several GUR workshops. In addition, a case study of a current collaboration between researchers and a game company demonstrates game analytics' use and benefits. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

33. The Truncation of Prompts in Phone Based Interfaces: Using Tott in Evaluations

Author

Stuart, Rory, Desurvire, Heather, and Dews, Shelly

Abstract

The Intelligent Interfaces Group at NYNEX Science and Technology has evaluated numerous phone based interfaces (PBIs) during the course of iterative design. Many of the PBIs studied allow users to truncate spoken prompts by pressing keys on their touch-tone telephones. We have found that mistaken assumptions about how and when users will truncate spoken prompts may lead to large discrepancies between the expectations of system designers and the behavior of users. In order to study truncation behavior, we created the Task Oriented Taxonomy of Truncation (TOTT). This taxonomy can be used to describe the behavior of users in truncating spoken prompts in PBIs. TOTT was found to facilitate our understanding of users' truncation behavior and allowed us to change the PBI prompts to better fit this behavior. We found that many users did not interrupt the spoken prompts and we speculate that they may be using a model of turn-taking from human conversation. Future areas of research and applications of TOTT are discussed.
