Combining eye tracking and biometrics with game metrics logging

The Research Paper Based on collaborative work between Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden and Otto-von-Guericke University, Germany, we recently published a paper on the integration of game metrics logging with biometric measures (as well as eye tracking). It was titled “Log Who’s Playing: Psychophysiological Game Analysis Made Easy through Event Logging” and is available in [...]
