This document traces the evolution of video game controllers from early button-based controllers to modern gestural interfaces like the Wii and Kinect. It begins with a genealogy of game pad shapes showing how they evolved from simple brick shapes to more ergonomic designs. It then outlines the advantages and disadvantages of gestural interfaces compared to traditional controllers. The rest of the document describes various studies conducted on gestural gaming including analyzing how people explore game spaces, perceive realism, and behave while playing gestural games. It concludes with discussing prototypes created and design recommendations for seamfully integrating gestural controls.

- 12. + - • naturalinteraction: gestures = natural forms of interaction and low learning curve • direct interaction: from a cognitive POV, the hand/body becomes the input device (less intermediate tranduscers) • terse and powerful interaction: movement capture can be very precise = higher power of expression • fatigue: physical efforts, interaction must hence be fast • non self-revealing sometimes •“immersion syndrome”: if every gestures are captured, even non- intended movements are interpreted • segmentation of physical actions: gestures are continuous, discretizing them is sometimes approximate+ artificial • which interactions to be replaced by gestures?
