Abstract

This paper presents an assessment of usability in a game with gestural interaction menus, considering motion-sensing devices. Through a quantitative survey, we applied an experiment with ten participants, selected by non-probability sampling, but for convenience. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether menus with gestural interaction must have some form of release mechanism to avoid accidental selections of options by the users. We used task performance measures such as reaction time and number of errors during selection tasks to assess usability. Regarding the user satisfaction, we applied a questionnaire to evaluate the two game versions, with and without a release mechanism. Results showed no significant differences related to user satisfaction and number of selection errors between versions. Conversely, considering reaction time measurements between versions, results revealed significant values.
