Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Examining a digital human modelling tool with a gaming element   Order a copy of this article

    Abstract: In complex work contexts, such as digital human modelling, the implementation of gamification is a relatively immature field. This study examines how the use of gamification elements in digital human modelling software affects the motivation to use the software and how the use of gamification elements in digital human modelling supports user engagement in software. A prototype for one of the first gamified interfaces for digital human modelling software has been developed and evaluated by user experience experts and tested with end users in the automotive industry. The study indicates that motivation and engagement are supported by the gamification module. The gamification tool was perceived as supporting reward factors, namely that it felt worthwhile and rewarding; 7 participants out of 11 stated that they preferred IPS IMMA with a gamification module than without. The gamification integration was also considered a promising solution for onboarding new users.
    Keywords: gamification; digital human modelling; DHM; CAD; simulation; ergonomics; motivation; engagement; gameful design; user experience.
