    Eye-Tracking To Enhance Usability: a Race Game
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2019) Ilhan, A. Ezgi
    An important field of research in human-computer interaction studies is the usability of computer games. This paper provides brief definitions of human-computer interactions and usability, and also describes the relevance of these interactions to computer games. Design decisions concerning game elements such as graphical user interface, feedback messages, position and the colour of functional buttons located on the game screen play an important role in identifying the usability and playability of computer games. This study uses eye-tracking technology in order to record eye movements to focus the action of "seeing", which reflects the inner world of humans. A managerial racing game was chosen as an example to analyse its usability. In this context, the design of the social race game was reviewed by recording eye movement data of the participants. The results of eye-tracking data were supported by user comments, which were finally used to improve the design and usability features of the game.

    Guis With Haptic Interfaces
    (Springer Verlag, 2015) Arda Aydin,M.; Cagiltay,N.E.; Ozcelik,E.; Tuner,E.; Sahin,H.; Tokdemir,G.
    While there are many studies regarding utilization of Haptic feedback to enhance desktop GUIs and utilizing Haptic devices as additional interfaces to improve performance in current interaction techniques, there are not many studies that uses Haptic device as a primary input device. In this study, we present an experimentation conducted with 30 students, comparing performance of a Haptic device with mouse to use a GUI elements commonly used with mouse gestures. This study is inspired by a system that utilizes both mouse and a Haptic device, thus also taking task switching into consideration. We conclude that it is possible to achieve an acceptable performance with a Haptic device in a desktop-like GUI but further study and experimentation is necessary. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.
