Henrik's new amazing prototype

Here are pictures and video of Henrik's new prototype. It's amazing and it definitely holds a potential to play WoW with it also.

Wii "Headmote" Prototype

We tried a kind of crazy prototype with using the Wii motion sensor attached to the head of the user. Head movements control the aiming of the gun and movement/firing is controlled by the handheld nunchuck. The motivation behind this design is that traditional "gun" controllers get tiring in your hand after a while.

It worked surprisingly well!

Experience Benchmarking

For this test we created a sequence of CoD tasks for the user to do and focused on the user's hands/fingers during the tasks. Our goal was to find which buttons on the Xbox controller are not intuitive during gameplay. We've tested and videotaped three of us and will continue testing other classmates and CoD players.

Key findings:

1) The crouch button is not intuitive when you need to from standing to full lying down and vise versa (2 levels of movement).

2) Sometimes grenade buttons are mistaken for shooting buttons

3) There should be an easier way for sprinting

4) In general the joystick buttons are not too easy to use (sprint and knife attack)

Super Early Prototype w/ video

We made put together this prototype before we knew that we don't have to worry much about browsing and messaging.

It's basically an Ipod Touch attached to a controller. The Ipod Touch has an app called Airmouse which allows it to control the computer functions once the two devices are synced.
