“…If not, one could assume that a well-established input form, such as a mouse, would be sufficient to achieve a similar or even better result. By doing so, we want to contribute to the research body of comparative studies in the field of gaze vs. mouse (e.g., [49][50][51][52][53][54][55]). left image: in CrossG, players interact via a mouse (look around, pointing) and a keyboard (WASD-movement, crouching); the guidance (i.e., vignette effect) is driven by the current crosshair position that is pinned to the center of the screen, right image: in GazeG, players move in the same way as in CrossG (i.e., mouse and keyboard); in this condition, the guidance is decoupled from the screen's center and is driven via the player's gaze position.…”

This paper investigates the effects of gaze-based player guidance on the perceived game experience, performance, and challenge in a first-person exploration game. In contrast to existing research, the proposed approach takes the game context into account by providing players not only with guidance but also granting them an engaging game experience with a focus on exploration. This is achieved by incorporating gaze-sensitive areas that indicate the location of relevant game objects. A comparative study was carried out to validate our concept and to examine if a game supported with a gaze guidance feature triggers a more immersive game experience in comparison to a crosshair guidance version and a solution without any guidance support. In general, our study findings reveal a more positive impact of the gaze-based guidance approach on the experience and performance in comparison to the other two conditions. However, subjects had a similar impression concerning the game challenge in all conditions.
