| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| It is expected that there will be a difference in performance when acting the same task in environments with different interfaces. Thus, it is expected that the physical contact offered in the real environment favors a more efficient processing channel due to tactile feedback. In virtual tasks, the objective of the action is abstract and directed to intangible objects that can directly influence and hinder performance. The evaluation of the motor performance will be quantified by the number of hits and errors in the Move Hero games in two interfaces (with touch and without touch). | — |
