“…For example, players are able to personalise their avatar for superior self-representation, showing the player's abilities and their level of achievement inside the game [15,20]. This personalisation concept has shown an increase in players' emotions and interactions while playing the game.…”

This paper explores avatar roles and design principles in helping to develop motivation in game environments. Different avatar applications could influence the experience of players in at least three ways: as a customisation tool, game strategy, and personal identification. These possible influences could be enhanced by the application of avatar design for motivational purposes, reflected through the integration between game design elements and the avatar implementation. This paper aims to situate avatar design as a design strategy to motivate users to change their behaviour and promote adherence to new habits. We start by reviewing the current papers that address avatar design utilisations for motivation in to Serious Games. Then, we analyse the main elements in gameful applications (e.g. Re-Mission, Pain Squad, CodeInGame and Monster Manor), in order to understand and explore the design of avatars. The analysis is followed by the development of a model for Avatar Design in Motivational contexts (ADAM), which could be used to provide the necessary guidance for designers and developers of gameful systems for motivational environments.

“…However, little exploration has been made on how these designs are applied in gamification. As of avatar, in previous studies (see Barata et al (2013); Kuramoto et al (2013); Otake et al (2014)), the strategies of avatar customisations were associated with the collection of points and level of achievement in the game. According to Hamari et al (2014) and Nicholson (2012), gamification where most of the game elements are based on points may restrict the progression in gameplay.…”

“…In a gamified application, an avatar is customised when certain tasks or levels have been achieved by the player; these achievements will unlock other avatar designs that enable players to change their avatar in the game (see e.g: Barata, Gama, Fonseca, Gonçalves, & Jorge, 2013;Kuramoto, Ishibashi, Yamamoto, & Tsujino, 2013;Otake, Sumita, Oka, Shinozawa, Uetake, & Sakurai, 2014). As mention earlier, an anthropomorphic interface design also exist other avatar, which are interface agents and hybrid characters.…”

“…Anthropomorphic interfaces through avatars within gamification affects motivation and this could lead to changes in behaviour (Kuramoto et al, 2013;Otake et al, 2014). It is anticipated that when people are motivated, it will make them want to follow the given instruction or change their habit according to the situation.…”

“…In previous studies by Kuramoto, Ishibashi, Yamamoto, & Tsujino (2013) and Otake, Sumita, Oka, Shinozawa, Uetake, & Sakurai (2014), the avatar (which is part of the anthropomorphic interface) was utilised as a representation of the player, which also offers personalisation. This representation and personalisation were similar to the obtained results; the results also advocate that particular characters were selected because the users were comfortable when interacting with them.…”

This paper proposes a framework for the application of anthropomorphic interfaces in gamification for transitional healthcare. The framework bridges the theories around anthropomorphic research, gamification research, transitional health research, with the views of 15 field experts and a survey of 33 users. Patients in transitional healthcare process requires additional tools to assist them in following the transitional process, particularly in learning and managing their health condition. A different design of anthropomorphic interface applied within gamification could help to motivate the patients in going through their transition process, and thus may result in a change of behaviour towards self-manage. The framework consists of four factors; elements of an anthropomorphic interface, game elements for gamification, motivational elements, and requirements for transitional healthcare. Through triangulation of the literature, experts and users, these four factors were considered to be important and relevant elements of the framework. This validated the framework for anthropomorphic interfaces in gamification for transitional healthcare applications.
