Win A Game!!!
« on: April 09, 2012, 04:05:03 PM »
Good day Gamers,

My name is Osei Alexander and I am currently pursuing my MSc in Occupational and Environmental Safety and Health at UWI, St Augustine Campus. I have engaged a research study for my Masters programme on game controllers. The title of the research project is “An Ergonomic Evaluation of a Traditional Keyboard and Mouse Combination Controller vs. Hand-held Game Controllers as it relates to Bodily Discomfort for users on both Consoles and Personal Computer Gaming Systems”.

For this project, I need voluntary members between the ages of 18 to 40 who have been gaming for more than 5 years to participate in a few gaming experiments and answer a research questionnaire. Basically the gamers play on the Xbox Controller, PlayStation Controller, Nintendo Wii Controller and the Keyboard/mice combination Controller for 3/4 hrs and the questionnaire will be distributed after the gaming session. The questionnaire provides the necessary data to ascertain the discomfort levels experienced relative to the respective controllers. Testing would be carried out at one or two of the gaming hubs associated with GATT and would be extended over a couple of weekends in April/early May.

I am very passionate about this particular topic especially as it is a unique and highly under developed area in today's society; considering how extensive the gaming world is currently. I also believe that the nature of this study has huge potential to go far internationally due to it being untouched research and furthermore, it would also provide mutually beneficial information.

Video Gaming Software prizes, each considered to be the best of 2011 gaming software would be awarded to the most valuable player for each of the respective controllers. Games to be awarded include;

   Mass Effect 3
   Crysis 2
   Deus Ex: Human Revolution
   The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings

Special thanks to Nigel Bellamy and Tracey Chin for providing us with the opportunity and resources to carry out this epic endeavour.

Please indicate if you are willing to participate in this innovative gaming experience by post or email.

Regards,
Osei Alexander

What are the locations for the testing? If it is in UWI itself I'll be able to assist you in getting some participants for you including myself as I am a student there currently.

Hey VirtueTT......the plan is to have the NATSCI Computer Lab in UWI for the keyboard/mouse testing. As for the other locations, I plan to check the hubs there are in Trinidad and choose the most feasible ones for the job. Should be doing that whole of this week.

Any help is appreciated....if u get some uwi students you can send me a email with there names and contacts.

*cracks knuckles* well I may be able to help if things are within range. Do you mind if people bring their own keyboards/mice for the PC testing portion? Also, what other testing outlets do you have in mind? And as well what would be the games played? Do we pick our own or are you testing a certain type of game (FPS, Racers, etc)?

Hey D2ultima....thanks much for the support.

Well keeping in the confines of a scientific study, it was advised to have each workstation the same. So if your keyboard/mice happens to be similar to the other at the gaming site then it would be no problem.

I am currently arranging to go to each hub to measure the dimensions. Then I would choose the most uniform locations to conduct the testing. Once that is done I would give word.

For the kb/mice testing, I am thinking Battlefield 3, but nothing is concrete as yet.

Send me a email with your contact info or pm me and as things progress I would keep everyone updated.

Hey Beserk.....Send me an email with your contact info and ill keep you updated as things progress. Because it's a scientific study, the gamers would be the same for each controller.

So you would have a chance to win the prize for each of the controllers.
