Patterns in video games analysis – Application of eye-tracker and electrodermal activity (EDA) sensor

Abstract

The aim of the article is to propose a method for evaluating player’s experience during gameplay using an eye-tracker and galvanic skin response sensor. The method is based on using data obtained from the game, in the light of patterns in game design. The article presents a preliminary, qualitative study, along with an exemplary interpretation of the gameplay of the Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure (HOPA) game.
