ABSTRACT
In this paper we present Maze Commander, a two-player game using two different types of interaction. One player uses the Oculus Rift and the other uses the Sifteo Cubes. The game requires effective and efficient communication to win. We also conducted an evaluation. The results show a positive evaluation for the game experience and collaboration, but no significant differences in game experience between the two modes of interaction. However, preferred interaction modalities were not yet taken into consideration for selecting the participants. We also present lessons learned from this experiment, and our future work.
