Tools
We develop and provide tools that can be used for experimentation and evaluation of game research.
Multi View Recorder
This web application allows you to record multiple screens simultaneously by simply connecting a webcam to your PC. Use it for qualitative evaluation of gaming experiences that are difficult to observe. Up to four cameras can be projected. It is also possible to project a game screen by connecting another PC or display as a webcam via a capture board.
Ah-Aloud Method
This experimental technique allows us to observe the real-time emotions of the experimental participants. The magnitude and tone of the "Ah" that participants vocalize during the task are used to determine the ups and downs of their emotions and the type of emotion they are experiencing. Since "Ah" is used as an emotional verb in daily life, it is easy to determine the emotion, and since it does not require tools or equipment, it is useful for casual experiments.
