Abstract

Gamification has been shown as a viable alternative to assist HCI, in order to create more engaged users with web systems. In this study we present the main concepts of gamification, and we implement a pilot experiment with the aim of analyzing users' behavior in gamified applications, especially applications that use geolocation information, seeking to understand what effects the gamification techniques have over the public.
