Abstract
Large displays are becoming commonplace for home and office computers. Although researchers have quantified the benefits of working on large displays, there has been little investigation of how large displays physiologically and emotionally impact the user. Using subjective and physiological measures, we compared the user’s experience when game playing on a large display versus a small display. We found that the large display caused greater physiological responses and higher subjective ratings of excitement. These physiological results were mirrored in the participants’ subjective reports. The study contributes to understanding of interaction with large displays and refining the requirements for what constitutes effective and desirable humancomputer interaction (HCI).
