When we first saw it, we were surprised how well the gesture controls work; Luxor with gesture-control on SmartTV introduces an innovative user-experience that is better than traditional motion-controlled gaming consoles”.

18 © 2012 appside, all rights reserved Beyond the Ux -- Gesture-control Potential – Examples  Understanding the player in a totally different level His whereabouts, his tone, his face, his dressing, his behavior etc.  Providing the machine “senses” and enabling a new kind of machine learning capabilities  More use of the actual playing environment  Living room, furniture, real objects in our world 18

19 © 2012 appside, all rights reserved Gesture-control Game Design – Lesson Learnt, Basic Guidelines Gesture is a new language  No control standards have emerged yet  Humanize, simplify, predict player behavior Plan ahead  What’s fun while playing with a joystick isn’t always fun with your body!  Focus on the fun gesture enables: empower the player -- faster, stronger Use real life gestures  Every movement that does not directly mimic a real life one, means teaching the player a new set of skills… Compensate for no physical feedback  Visual and sound feedback need to be clear and “exaggerated” Be aware of Gesture Limitations  “Multitasking” is very hard (e.g., walking, looking around and shooting in parallel)  Actions need to be automated Experiment  Your assumptions of what will work when designing controls and levels for gesture, will sometimes be wrong…   What you think should be easy/fun, turns out to be hard for players

20 © 2012 appside, all rights reserved Summary  SmartTVs are going mass market. So is the gesture-controlled living room  a reality already in 2012  Market potential is significant  A unique opportunity to become an early leader in an untapped market  Port/adapt your games to gesture-control  Developing/porting to gesture-control is easy but requires planning ahead, using lessons learnt and basic guidelines  To ensure a successful game which is both compelling and fun, we offer  Toolbox - Use cases, Success stories, technical/UI/Ux guidelines, best practices etc.  Porting partners - experienced studios who can port your games and you can leverage their own experience, knowledge etc. Partner with us !
