A Research on High Performance Factors in Shooting Tasks of FPS Games

E-sports has seen significant global growth with notable economic impact, particularly in the genre of First Person Shooting (FPS) games, which are popular for their immersive play and spectator appeal. FPS games require high strategic and manipulative skills scientifically-based training methodologies are becoming crucial. Key research areas include the interaction of psychological stress with cognitive skills like reflexes, situational awareness, and reaction time. This paper explores the analysis of heart rate and visual attention in FPS games, as well as the influence of personality traits on manipulation skills. The experiment is conducted by asking participants recruited at the university to play two different shooting games and collect data. Heart rate variability is measured with an electric heart rate monitor, and an eye tracker is used to track eye gaze and examine its relationship to hit rates. The amount of mouse manipulation is recorded by the operation recording software and camera, and obtained by hand motion analysis with MediaPipe. Participants’ confidence in their shooting skills and communication intentions were surveyed using a 5 -point scale questionnaire based on the 16 Personalities framework derived from Jungian psychology. The study found that wrist-centered manipulation methods improved shooting accuracy, and players with the “ISTJ” personality type displayed higher shooting abilities.
