How the Gaming Mouse Connects the Virtual World and the Body ()
ABSTRACT
Gaming
mice have complicated designs for different online games. This study analyzes the following questions: How does the
computer game type affect the mouse’s
shape? How can players exist in a game’s physical and virtual world through their body movements while operating
the gaming mouse? The results show that there are many interesting correlations between plays’ gestures and game actions. The gaming mouse has a
sophisticated design to better respond to
players’ body movements. Furthermore, players develop their own body strategies that respond to the
mouse’s shape and integrate them into their constructed imaginary world.
Different visual elements and control devices
in human-computer interfaces compensate for the “cybernetic loss” experienced during the
dematerialization process. The application of such compensation extends from plane
graphics to gaming mice, and ranges from visual perception to the physical
experience of controlling the mouse.
