A quantitative method for evaluating the complexity of implementing and performing game features in physically-interactive gamified applications
作者：
Highlights：
• A method to evaluate and select game features for gamified applications is proposed.
• User performance is positively correlated to the effort required to perform a task.
• An effort threshold exists for which user's performance will decrease significantly.
• User performance can be negatively affected by the implementation of game features.
• Game feature effect is mediated by the effort of the target and its indirect tasks.
