| Abstract: | With lots of research into Gamification and Playful design, a logical next step is to explore a design method that includes Sports. To fill this gap in the tricky triad of game, play, and sport, we propose the concept of Sportification, derived from the concept of Gamification: "the use of design elements characteristic for sport within non-sport contexts". To test the generative power of this proposed framework, it was used in co-design sessions with children. To show the executability, we applied Sportification to an existing interaction through four co-design sessions, and then performed a user test with the resulting Sportified prototype on location. The results of applying this framework showed that children are very adept at working with the proposed framework for Sportification and that adding Sportification to an interaction creates situations and generates ideas, such as whole body movement and coaching, beyond what could be expected from Playful Design and Gamification. |
