Games have proven to engage, excite and inspire players to feel, share, and come back for more the next day. The user experience (UX) of games is what we should all strive to give our users.
This presentation will go through a few simple examples of how e-commerce can integrate gaming standards into their own websites to provide guests simple joys that games can. We'll also look at why gamification is a tricky word that means more than adding badges or high scores to your site. Come and analyze a few popular websites with me and find out if they are winning the game.
