Maum: exploring immersive gameplay with emerging user interface devices

Unrestricted This paper explores how new user interface devices can change conventional gameplay, and contribute to immersive user experiences. The game, “Maum” is an experimental game project consisting of four sub-games. Each sub-game adopts unique gameplay mechanics that are optimized for brain-computer interface and physical interface. Each sub-game also uses an experimental art style for creating a surrealistic game world. In order to evaluate the effectiveness of the game, a qualitative method based on play-tests and audience analysis is used.
