Two-phase evaluation records 17 players in custom Action-Adventure and FPS prototypes and then has 20 developers analyze 10–15 minute sessions. Results show significant positive impact overall and stronger utility for action-adventure; users find concrete bugs (NPCs stuck behind mapped walls, dislodged gun on downward gaze, predictable enemy spawns, hand-tracking loss during fast turns) that guide fixes.
