Human-centered interface design for a dynamic cyber-risk group-based training game

Abstract

This study presents the benefits of employing a gesture-based natural user interface (NUI) for a scientifically grounded cyber-risk management collaborative game. Such a human-centered interface facilitates group-based training and enables board members to achieve better results collectively compared to operating individually. The main contribution of this tool is to enhance the group training leveraging on collective intelligence. To show that, the results and learning paths of single users and groups acquired from this game are compared. Moreover, the collaborative game provides executives and business leaders with insight into cyber-risk management issues, thereby improving their results through deeper learning. This work demonstrates that the interface is the key factor in the success of group cooperation. The idea, the design, and the improvement of the NUI are critical to make it possible to achieve these results.
