Abstract

This paper highlights the results and future implications of a project aimed at understanding how the combination of game mechanics and a large-scale public installation might affect an individuals' willingness to donate to a charitable organization. The research attempts to determine if the use of an interactive public installation is an effective tool for educating the general public and inciting individuals to give to a worthy cause.
