“…The design of tasks, workflows, motivation, and incentives, as well as the selection of suitable workers and their training are possible solutions that task owners can adopt to make their submission of HITs more effective [19], [20], [21]. Moreover, gamification is another technique used in crowdsourcing systems that may be adopted by task owners to increase the workers' intrinsic motivation to accept a task and participate actively [22], [23], [24]. By choosing gamification-based titles helped us get our HITs accepted sooner.…”

With the online-everything transformation accelerated by a global Covid-19 pandemic, we may finally find ourselves on the verge of the next potentially paradigm-shifting step after the mobile Internet: The Metaverse. Among others, the Metaverse will utilize head-mounted devices (HMDs) and extended reality (XR), including but not limited to virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), as the medium to connect avatars and users in the real world. In addition, the Metaverse is supposed to provide gamified experiences around emerging Web 3.0 technologies and is anticipated to be the precursor of the so-called Multiverse, which will serve as an architecture of advanced XR experience realms. In this paper, we focus on the anticipated 6G post-smartphone era, where smart wearables such as VR/AR HMDs are increasingly replacing the functionalities of smartphones. Our contributions are threefold: (i) we first extend Metaverse's primary focus on VR/AR to Multiverse's advanced XR realms of experience. Next, we gamify and implement all eight Multiverse realms of experience using Oculus Quest 2 and Microsoft HoloLens 2 as state-of-the-art VR/AR HMDs, experimentally investigating and comparing the performance of a (ii) single-player origami game and (iii) multi-player maze game across our proposed integrated VR/AR HMD and Amazon Mechanical Turk crowd-of-Oz (CoZ) platform.INDEX TERMS 6G post-smartphone era, crowd-of-Oz (CoZ), extended reality (XR), gamified experiences, head-mounted devices (HMDs), Metaverse, multiverse, web 3.0.

“…Past research has used real-world surveillance video to study pedestrian movement and to extract behaviors for use in computer simulations [3]. Commonly-used design metrics for evaluating the goodness of a particular layout are highly dependent on the agent and/or crowd steering behavior [7]. The recent COVID-19 pandemic raised the issue of social distancing.…”

To understand the effects of COVID-19 preventive measures such as social distancing and mask-wearing on social wayfinding, we carried out a virtual reality (VR) study. Participants traversed a VR room, moving around an obstacle – either a virtual person (an “agent”) or an inanimate object. We varied whether the participant was wearing a mask, whether the agent was wearing a mask, and whether the context was “safe” or “unsafe” in terms of potential contagion. Participants’ navigational choices, we found, were strongly influenced by whether the agent was wearing a mask, and by the safety of the environment, but not as much by whether the participant was wearing a mask. We also saw evidence of risk compensation: participants were more willing to closely approach an agent when the risk of contagion was lower. These results are important for the formation, evaluation and implementation of public health policies to contain contagious diseases.

“…In architectural design, many studies have utilized gamification to enhance participatory design and occupants' feedback on the design process. For example, Haworth et al (2020) developed an approach to replace the traditional designer-as-user concept by a gamified crowdsourced design methodology, where it showed evidence as an interesting approach to collaborative environment design. In another study by Schnabel, Lo, and Aydin (2014), a gamified design platform was introduced, focusing on urban mass housing projects.…”

This paper proposes a gamified approach to collect and visualize human perception of daylighting in large-scale indoor environments using immersive virtual environments (IVEs). The developed system was tested by 20 participants, where their daylighting preferences for the virtual environment were collected at two daytimes through snapshotting and evaluating their points of interest in terms of brightness, as well as their evaluation of the system and daylight quality. Afterward, participants' feedback was visualized into a perceptive lighting map (PLM) and compared to an image-based quantitative metric. The results of this experimental study found a tendency among participants to report more feedback in areas with large daylight portals rather than other areas with similar light intensity. Additionally, results from both subjective and simulation-based metrics showed consistency in defining daylight intensity, as well as explained the occurrence of contradicting user evaluations of some identical areas in IVE as a result of high contrast in brightness. The findings showed the adequacy of the proposed system as a visual source of user-centered feedback to daylighting in the early stages of design, as well as a supplement tool for building performance simulations (BPS).
