%0 Journal Article %T How the Gaming Mouse Connects the Virtual World and the Body %A Ju-Joan Wong %A Jianliang Liu %J Art and Design Review %P 55-72 %@ 2332-2004 %D 2023 %I Scientific Research Publishing %R 10.4236/adr.2023.112005 %X Gaming mice have complicated designs for different online games. This study analyzes the following questions: How does the computer game type affect the mouse¡¯s shape? How can players exist in a game¡¯s physical and virtual world through their body movements while operating the gaming mouse? The results show that there are many interesting correlations between plays¡¯ gestures and game actions. The gaming mouse has a sophisticated design to better respond to players¡¯ body movements. Furthermore, players develop their own body strategies that respond to the mouse¡¯s shape and integrate them into their constructed imaginary world. Different visual elements and control devices in human-computer interfaces compensate for the ¡°cybernetic loss¡± experienced during the dematerialization process. The application of such compensation extends from plane graphics to gaming mice, and ranges from visual perception to the physical experience of controlling the mouse. %K Gaming Mouse %K Human-Computer Interaction %K Virtual World %K Online Game %K Qualitative Research %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=124805
