The goal of this session is to clarify which user-research
methods are most effective. While many advocate a particular
method no one approach or method is effective—or
even appropriate—at answering the wide variety of questions
that arise during game development. Human experience
has 3 main components (Behavior, Cognition and
Emotion), and no technique is good at measuring all 3. This
presentation explores research effectiveness in a friendly
'debate', featuring two prominent user-researchers who use
very different methods in their user-research.
