- A relatively new pursuit in video game play-testing is UX and usability research. An increasing number of companies including some of the world's biggest publishers have begun outsourcing UX evaluation or opening their own in-house labs. [1] [2] [3] Researchers use a variety of HCI and psychological techniques to examine the effectiveness of the user experience of the games during the design process. [4] There are also some companies starting to use biometrics to scientifically measure the relationship between in-game events and the player's emotions and feelings (the UX), such as Player Research and Serco ExperienceLab in the UK, [5] [6] and Valve, Electronic Arts, BoltPeters, and VMC Labs in the USA and Canada. [7] [8] [9] [10] The interest in this area comes from both academia and industry, sometimes enabling collaborative work. [11] [12] Game UX work has been featured at professional venues, such as the Game Developers Conference (GDC). [13] [14]
