Playing Games Online - Gamifying UX Design To Enhance Experiences and Promote Engagement 

Playing Games Online - Gamifying UX Design To Enhance Experiences and Promote Engagement  | Curation Revolution | Scoop.it

User engagement is at the heart of any design philosophy. With the user-centered approach, designers are always on the lookout for new techniques to enhance user engagement with products, websites, and programs like online games.

 

The objective is to make a product easy and enjoyable for users to use. Making a product easy to use and enjoyable enhances user experience (UX) leading to increased user engagement. Even traditional online card games like pool rummy have enhanced user experience.

 

The secret lies in gamification in the UX design, which has assumed high importance in recent years. Although a very modern concept, it does have a far-reaching impact on the understanding of user preferences and increasing user engagement.

Martin (Marty) Smith's insight:

When everyone has a website winning changes. To do the same things as everyone, in the same way, is sure to end badly. Games and gamification change our thinking from conversion to entertainment, loyalty, and community.  

I study video games and video game development trying to adapt the level up gamification most games use to e-commerce. And you? Is your marketing playing games online?
