Abstract

Seventy-two male college undergraduates at a large southeastern university played a video game in one of two conditions: using a traditional handheld controller or using motion-based controls.

RESULTS showed that using motion-based controls significantly increased measures of hostility, identification with the avatar, and impacted a sense of self presence with the game.

RESULTS indicate motion-based controls, although helping to create a bond with the game's avatar, do not necessarily create a feeling of immersion into the game environment.
