Masterthesis I-Tech: Experiment A


Hi! Thank you for your interest in participating in this experiment. Before you can start, please read this disclaimer.

Method


The goal of this experiment is to evaluate the gaming experience of a game that is intended to aid with physical rehabilitation.

To do this, the participant (you) is asked to play the game multiple times and reflect on your experience using a questionnaire. The ReadMe.pdf file attached contains a step-by-step explanation on how to perform this experiment.
The whole experiment should take about 30 - 45 minutes.

In order to have as reliable results as possible, participants are asked to play this game in a similar context as they would normally play videogames in. Please make sure you’re not exceptionally tired, sick, stressed, or under time pressure when performing this experiment, as that could potentially affect the results.

Data collection


All data collected is anonymized. Aside from some basic demographic data (E.g. age, gender, personal experience with videogames), all questions are related to your experience with the game. The questionnaire contains statements such as “I thought it was fun” and “I felt bored” that are rated on a 5 point scale on how much you agree with them.

Withdrawal from participation is possible until 24-11-2022. The process of withdrawing your data from the study is described in the ReadMe.pdf file.
