By designing prototypes of touch-based gamepads, conducting comparisons and interviews,
explores the possibility of touch interfaces becoming the mainstream control method for future shooting games.
Results show no significant difference between touch-based input and mouse under similar total latency conditions,
encouraging further research and the potential of touch becoming a mouse input replacement.
