A user-centered design: Methodological tools to design and develop computer games for motor-impaired users

摘要

User-Centered Design (UCD) is a term to describe design processes which focus on designing for and involving users in the design of applications The implementation of UCD in the game design process can enhance the user experience especially for special needs users such as motor-impairedudusers (MIU).This is very important, since the user experience will eventually be a significant element in the computer game’s success.The main objective of this study is to investigate UCD as a methodological tool to design and develop enjoyable games for MIU.The findings of the studyudshowed users’ feedback on game design for MIU while applying UCD methods to game improvement and evaluation.Hopefully, the results of the study will emphasize the need for developing enjoyable game designs for MIU.
