But how is interaction altered by the absence of a physical input device? What is the impact on game performance, on a player's expectation of their ability to control the game, and on their game experience? In this study, we investigate these issues in the context of a table tennis video game. The results show that the impact of holding a physical controller, or indeed of the fidelity of that controller, does not appear in simple measures of performance. Rather, the difference between controllers is a function of the responsiveness of the game being controlled, as well as other factors to do with expectations, real world game experience and social context.}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the Designing Interactive Systems Conference}, pages = {701–710}, numpages = {10}, keywords = {3D graphics, affordance, gestural interaction, input devices, touchless, video game design}, location = {Newcastle Upon Tyne, United Kingdom}, series = {DIS '12} }
