Yesterday a presented a co-authored paper entitled ‘Foresthlon: Investigating Gender Experience Through a Hybrid BCI Game’ at the 23rd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction (HCII 2021), HCI in Games: Experience Design and Game Mechanics, which was held in Washington DC, USA. Foresthlon is an adaptation of the well-known Biathlon game and a 2D hybrid BCI game was designed and implemented to provide a new and exciting experience for the player without ruining gameplay.
The main goal of the game was to run and hit all the targets as quickly as possible as the main indicator of how successful the attempt is the time the player was able to finish the game. A user study was performed with 30 participants to examine gender differences in terms of user-experience, cognitive workload, and performance. Results indicate that male participants performed slightly better than females, although there are no significant differences.
