"Rollings and Adams (2003) define a user’s experience as the impact three gaming elements – Interaction, Visual and Audio – when used in conjunction, have on their overall satisfaction with a game. While several texts offer consistent and detailed descriptions of what metrics should be measured against in relation to these three elements, little is offered on what methodologies are best for gathering requirements against these metrics, especially in a commercial environment. This workshop is therefore aimed at those with an interest in gaming to explore various approaches to gathering requirements across all three gaming elements and how these approaches might vary across game genres."
