Abstract(s)
The several known studies of usability in videogames describe the elements contributing to the immersion and
satisfaction in the videogame playing experience, as well as the importance of tests that secure the good performance of
elements such as interface, graphics, sound, history, gameplay and replayability. This paper demonstrates an evaluation
of the user´s interaction with the Playstation Move motion controller through usability tests. The goal is to understand the
overall usability, the influence of environmental conditions and the use of two controllers simultaneously. This study will
also contribute to the understanding of how important it is to use simultaneous but different methodologies, namely
questionnaires, heuristic evaluations and direct observation of the users. It was concluded that different light conditions
do not affect the use of the controllers, the accuracy and ergonomics are very good, but the button layout is not ideal. The
controller´s calibration is time consuming but afterwards the acquisition is almost immediate.
