“…In order to satisfy the signalling guideline, which we identified as lacking from the Guilty Gear Strive tutorial, we incorporated visual cues into our tutorial design. To do this, we followed the visual cues design framework set out by Dillman et al [7]. This framework describes visual cues along three dimensions: purpose, markedness, and trigger source.…”

Fighting games can have barriers to entry as a result of the competency and skill needed to understand the mechanics and objectives of play. One of the key challenges in fighting game design is to teach players how to attain competency. The most common teaching strategy employed in many fighting games is to include a tutorial level. However, there is a lack of research on how fighting game tutorial levels should be designed to support learning for new players. In this paper, we propose design guidelines for video game tutorials, based on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning and video game design theory. We developed a fighting game tutorial, based on our design guidelines. We evaluated our design against a popular, recent fighting game, Guilty Gear Strive, in a user study with 10 players new to the genre. Our evaluation showed that our design improved on the in-game tutorial, in terms of supporting player learning. We also demonstrated that our design guidelines can provide useful insights into how to provide learning support in fighting game tutorials.

“…Similarly, expression vision might analyze facial micro-expressions for hundreds of faces at once, allowing an observer in a public space to evaluate public sentiment and highlighting faces meeting some predefined criteria, such as extreme joy or fear. Such attention-oriented approaches could extend highlighting techniques in existing visualization systems [80] or video games [30]. Alternatively, tools could also act implicitly to address viewers' attention biases by identifying when viewers disproportionately fixate on a subset of objects or values (one brand but not others, short/tall people but not average ones, etc.)…”

We explore how the lens of fictional superpowers can help characterize how visualizations empower people and provide inspiration for new visualization systems. Researchers and practitioners often tout visualizations' ability to "make the invisible visible" and to "enhance cognitive abilities." Meanwhile superhero comics and other modern fiction often depict characters with similarly fantastic abilities that allow them to see and interpret the world in ways that transcend traditional human perception. We investigate the intersection of these domains, and show how the language of superpowers can be used to characterize existing visualization systems and suggest opportunities for new and empowering ones. We introduce two frameworks: The first characterizes seven underlying mechanisms that form the basis for a variety of visual superpowers portrayed in fiction. The second identifies seven ways in which visualization tools and interfaces can instill a sense of empowerment in the people who use them. Building on these observations, we illustrate a diverse set of "visualization superpowers" and highlight opportunities for the visualization community to create new systems and interactions that empower new experiences with data.Material and illustrations are available under CC-BY 4.0 at osf.io/8yhfz.

“…Aultman et al [1] provided design heuristics for AR game UIs, including the placement of UI elements next to real objects, making the UI distinct from the real world, and matching the UI to the user's viewing angle. Dillman et al [4] describe a framework for designing AR visual cues to inform game players about objects or locations of interest, recommending approaches such as object-aligned visual highlights as well as arrows or maps.…”

Autonomous cars offer passengers a rich platform for Augmented Reality entertainment, with complex sensing that can drive passenger experiences by tracking, appropriating and altering elements of reality. This paper forms an early exploration of in-car AR games, starting with how existing game genres might work within an AR vehicle context, appropriating elements of reality (e.g. other cars) into gameplay, and altering the appearance of reality in relation to game events (e.g. augmented cracks in car windows). We discuss results from focus groups exploring an initial AR game prototype, and an informal in-car evaluation of a follow-up prototype inspired by the focus groups. Broadly, we found that participants enjoyed using AR gaming in-car, noted the immersive impact of appropriating real-world elements into gameplay, and felt that it improved their experience of the journey. We reflect on the ways in which future AR passenger experiences might take advantage of the available sensing and environment to create engaging reality-based gameplay. CCS CONCEPTS• Human-centered computing → Mixed / augmented reality.
