Abstract

We report results from a systematic literature review on the topic of reward systems for older people engaging with serious games, involving an analysis of 121 scientific articles identified from multiple bibliographic databases. Our analysis, employing various taxonomies of game type, genre and challenges, reward types and features, and interaction devices and feedback modalities, reveals preponderant attention on visual feedback, sports games, and time pressure/reaction challenges, but limited scientific research on unlocking mechanisms, achievement, item-granting rewards, haptic feedback modalities, or multi-player scenarios in serious games designed for older adults. These findings reveal reward mechanisms as a distinct type of interactive media featuring some, but ignoring many design possibilities. Based on our findings, we propose several recommendations for future research on designing reward mechanisms in serious games that adapt to users’ varying abilities, favor a diversity of input and output modalities, and expand to multi-player and multi-genre setups.

Reward Systems in Human Computation Games
CHI PLAY '16: Proceedings of the 2016 Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in Play

Human computation games (HCGs) are games in which player interaction is used to solve problems intractable for computers. Most HCGs use simple reward mechanisms such as points or leaderboards, but in contrast, many mainstream games use more complex, and ...
Visual complexity, player experience, performance and physical exertion in motion-based games for older adults
ASSETS '13: Proceedings of the 15th International ACM SIGACCESS Conference on Computers and Accessibility

Motion-based video games can have a variety of benefits for the players and are increasingly applied in physical therapy, rehabilitation and prevention for older adults. However, little is known about how this audience experiences playing such games, ...
Meaningful learning: motivations of older adults in serious games
Abstract
Social sustainability is the generation of significant behaviors through balanced levels of education, learning and awareness so that the population has a good standard of living, achieves self-improvement and supports society. This can be ...
