Presentation
From Package to Play: Out-of-Box Experience of the PlayStation Access™ Controller
SessionPoster Session 2
DescriptionThis study investigates the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) of the PlayStation Access™ controller. Fifteen participants with varying levels of motor impairment experience (no motor impairment, caregivers of those with motor impairments, and participants with motor impairments) were recruited from a university. Participants were asked for their first impressions of the concept of the box, and while unboxing, setting up the controller, and playing a video game. Overall, participants found the packaging easy to open, especially with inclusion of features focusing on accessibility. Participants also found the controller easy to use and customize, and found the instructions easy to understand. There was room for improvement in indicating that the controller could be used wirelessly, and in explaining PlayStation buttons or terms to those with little experience. Additionally, instructions could be improved by adding an indication of how far along the user is in the set up process, what aspects they would set up and when, and allow for orientation to be customized earlier on.
