The Psychology of Gamification: Can Apps Keep You Motivated?

Have you ever thought of completing that one level in your game? Have you ever stayed up late to finish that one last chapter of your favourite book? The behaviours like these arise from tapping into psychology and getting motivated to stay on track.

The human tendency is that they are naturally motivated by seeing at the progress of their goals and achievements. They get thrilled about the competitions in their life.gamification psychology motivation apps

Gamification is the term that uses game mechanics in order to reward the completing tasks. Nowadays, the fact that you can gamify every part of your life is not very exciting.

There are a number of apps on the app store that can help you stay motivated for different areas of your life, whether it is fitness or the relationships in life. The most important area of a person’s life is the finance and there are a number of apps that can make the management of all your finances in a fun and an amazing activity.

Gamification is setting the goals and then tracking them so that you can reach your target. Motivation is added by following the stick and carrot approach. Gamification mostly relies on our ambitions and targets.

The motivation psychology is a complicated topic and there are a number of theories linked to it. The gamification works in order to understand what is happening in the brain when the person is motivated.

A motivational program encompasses

  • Specific goals
  • Participative
  • For an explicit time period
  • With feedback on goal progress

Motivation makes the person achieve all the targets properly. The tracking available in the apps makes the user work harder as he or she feels a competitive approach and this makes them go.

Gamification and Motivation Psychology

Gamification only works when the brain is motivated to do something big. It is necessary to understand the basic source of motivation in our minds. There are basically three different elements.

  1. Autonomy
  2. Value
  3. Competence

Autonomy is when you are in charge, you get motivated and you stick to your goals for a long period of time. Value is when you think that the goal is better for you and you get automatically motivated to complete that goal. Competence is the force that makes you go on until the end. When you think hard work is everything, then you automatically get motivated to do that.

How gamification can help you?

Gamification means finding the healthy choices and converting them to a game structure so that the same motivation can be there that makes the people awake till midnight.

If your health goals are gamified, then it will give you:

  • A constant force of progressing towards the goal
  • Achievement Rewards for your milestones
  • An honest mind to achieve your target
  • The power to compete with others

The best game apps available on the app store always trigger your motivation. You can take an example of apps like Zombies and Run. These games trap the motivation to run by using badges.

Friendly competition also comes from intrinsic motivation. Competition always motivates the people in a positive way and gamification does this in the form of Leader board or scorecard for fitness and health. Gamification in apps can get you going if you have a competitive spirit in your mind.

Magic of gamification

It is not always possible to track how many fruits we are eating in a day for the rest of our life. Here comes the magic of gamification, once you are into the game motivation, they will ultimately become your habit. These habits will get self-perpetuating even when you are not playing any kind of game.

The game playing makes a constant effort to stay on track for long-term goals. After being motivated by the game, most of the people feel like not having any more game in their life as they can work without the game as well.

Is it better to try?

The benefits of gamification are short-term, but there are mixed results for this. Gamification is like a tool that helps you stay motivated for all your goals in life. Tracking your goals is one of the greatest ways that will definitely bring you success.

If you are not motivated by your fitness workout, then no one can help you bring down your weight and this goes with every goal of your life. The app designers need to make it compelling enough so that the user could not neglect the game. The game needs to be appealing, but if it is not, you should not bother to use it.

Here are the mobile apps that can keep you motivated.

A fitness app for motivation

There is a number of fitness apps available on the app store that can keep you motivated in your life and can help you achieve your targets in a better way.

Everyone knows that a balanced diet is necessary to stay fit and active. We all have got bored and there needs to be a fun activity that can motivate us to keep track of our fitness goals and makes us eat healthy in a day.

With the right apps and tools, the people can turn their smartphone into amazing fitness trackers as well. It will definitely boost your chances of success.

Fitness motivation is the most powerful and challenging motivation. Here are some of the best strategies in order to achieve fitness motivation.

  • Give yourself a motivating reward
  • Sign a commitment contract for fitness tracking
  • Positive thinking

 

Intrinsic motivation is the key to successful gamification. It takes a digital experience to make the game mechanics more effective. The true rendering of game principle needs an interactive design and data to personalize the challenges that will truly motivate the people.

Gamification is also transforming businesses in the most powerful way. It allows setting big and small targets and also helping in the early stages of forming it into a habit that can go longer. This may take time, but it will surely help you achieve better in the future.

Game mechanics used appropriately provoke motivation and triggers the mind to work better to achieve the best; else the person’s own ambitions can also make them motivated.

So, what are you waiting for? Search for some cool, motivating apps on the app store and start following them in your life in order to achieve your defined targets.

New Tech Solutions to an Old Tech Problem; Battery Life

Society grows increasingly dependent upon mobile technology every year, and while there have been magnificent discoveries that make our mobile phones, tablets, and wearable tech more capable and attractive, we seem to have hit the proverbial brick wall in some of the most fundamental aspects of the devices we carry, wear, and rely upon more and more every day. Thankfully, however, the technological leaps have not been limited to the things that make our devices more useful, more entertaining, and to be honest, more worthy of bragging rights. One of the problems that we’ve accepted for far too long is limited battery life.

Changing Needs and Usage pattern

Battery life continues to shrink. Processor speeds in our devices increase at nearly the speed of light, and the graphics displays on our mobile devices actually rival some high-end home video displays. That’s wonderfully exciting stuff, but those more powerful processors, graphics chips, and faster memory – not to mention the millions of essential apps that we tinker with all day – all use power faster than we’d like.

Early mobile devices were initially powered by alkaline batteries, which didn’t last very long, and couldn’t be recharged. Along came Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) batteries, which could be recharged hundreds of times, but whose power got drained pretty quickly. NiCads were also plagued by a sort of negative intelligence, which was demonstrated by their ability to “learn” to reduce their capacity according to how their human treated them. If, for example, you frequently recharged your mobile phone battery when its capacity was only half depleted, the battery would lower its capacity to match that half-full mark. And being that users are generally terrified of their devices being completely disabled even for a brief time, few users would deplete the battery’s charge completely before recharging it, as the devices’ instructions advised.

The currently used lithium-ion batteries have a significantly higher capacity and life, and are not plagued with the “memory” problems of the NiCads, but they do take a long time to fully recharge, and have on occasion been known to burst into flames. Not something you want to experience, particularly if your mobile device happens to be sitting in your pocket at the time.

The Solution

The solution, of course, is better batteries (or at least taking steps to conserve life). Despite the fact that progress in battery technology is proceeding at a seemingly glacial pace, battery makers have invested hours and pounds beyond count in their search for the mobile device industry’s Holy Grail: a battery that lasts a long time, recharges quickly, and doesn’t spontaneously morph into an incendiary device. One promising discovery has been made at Stanford University, in the form of an aluminum battery that can be fully recharged in roughly one minute, and cannot be made to catch fire. Thus far, the major drawback of the aluminum batteries is that they can produce significantly lower voltage than an equivalent-sized alkaline or lithium-ion battery.

Another approach that shows promise is the solid state battery being developed by a University of Michigan-initiated battery tech firm named Sakti3. The company claims to be able to produce a solid state battery that will deliver a 50% increase in capacity over lithium-ion batteries of the same physical volume. At this point, the major drawback seems to be achieving a price point that will be attractive enough to convince device manufacturers to switch from more conventional but less expensive batteries. They must be onto something, however, as UK vacuum maker Dyson, which is quite active in the design and marketing of cordless, battery-operated vacuums, has invested some $15 million into the company.

Conclusion

It would not be too surprising in the near future to be able to run your mobile devices far longer than you can at present, and to be able to recharge them in about the time it takes to pour a cup of tea.

5 Alternatives to Powerpoint for Creating Business Animations

5 Alternatives to Powerpoint for Creating Business Animations

Microsoft’s PowerPoint has been the industry standard and the go to tool for creating presentations for many years. It is highly dependable and most people are able to create presentations with it with their eyes shut. But lately with changing times, it has begun to lose its edge. Many will still argue in its favour and many point out its shortcomings.

The fact is that PowerPoint presentations could soon be history with new tools coming in for providing solutions to create business animations and presentations. Many people are of the opinion that PowerPoint presentations lack the impact now which they used to have a few years back. This always tends to happen when competition out-shines a technology and the tool starts to look old and obsolete. The same seems to be happening with PowerPoint at the moment.

PowerPoint is sure popular, but there are internet communities like the Anti PowerPoint party which are PowerPoint haters and who even blame PowerPoint for causing economic damage. This community is almost like a movement which provides free membership to PowerPoint haters and its member even go to the extent of making hand written presentations with a pen and a board rather than using PowerPoint.

Being conventional is boring, so why not look beyond PowerPoint for other options which might prove to be better for creating business animations. Here are a few options which you might want to consider.

  • GoAnimate

goanimate powerpoint business animation

GoAnimate is a popular alternative to PowerPoint for creating animations. Although it is not typical business presentation software, it has a wide range of applications other than creating mere business presentations. GoAnimate is a cloud based platform which allows users to create narrative videos where characters speak in lip-sync and also move around. Creating such kind of animations with PowerPoint is unthinkable. Creating voice-over narrated presentations is also very easy with GoAnimate, where a voice narrates in the background with moving elements and animations. Drag and drop functionality makes choosing character options and backgrounds much easier. It has a huge content library for choosing themes, characters etc. Once your video is ready, you can download it, share it or publish it on YouTube.

  • PowToon

PowToon was introduced in 2012. It is also cloud based software which allows users to use objects, images, music and user-created voice-over for creating animations and business presentations. PowToon uses an Adobe Flex engine for creating an XML file which can be shared and uploaded on YouTube and can also be downloaded in MP4 format. PowToon has a huge client base and its users include giants like Pfizer, Cisco and eBay. The company self advertises on its website that PowToon is an alternative to PowerPoint. It is easy to use and also free for download and use.

  • Google Docs

Well, this is a software tool which makes it to this list of possible alternatives to PowerPoint only because of the fact that it is free. Anybody having a Google account can download and use it. It is not a very powerful tool if you consider it as an alternative to PowerPoint, but has its unique features which allow you to create a business presentation and then convert them to a PowerPoint format. It is also cloud based and allows customization of presentations with text, videos and slides.

  • Sliderocket

Now we are talking about real alternatives to PowerPoint. This software is way ahead in comparison to PowerPoint with the punch and power it packs. This feature rich platform allows you to either import a PowerPoint presentation and modify it or you could also start from scratch. It has all options like charts, slides, special effects, etc. you name it. Live data from real-time feeds can also be accommodated. It also allows version and privacy control, which means that you can control as to who can see your presentation and who cannot. The best part about Sliderocket created animations is that they are compatible with HTML5.

  • Zoho Show

Zoho show is also cloud based software which can be used for creating business presentations. It supports multiple file types like .ppt, .ppsx, .sxi and .odp. Its USP is its customized diagrams and flowcharts. It has a simple and clean interface which is user-friendly. It also allows you to use images from either the web or through Picasa or Flickr. It also has an image editor for touching-up images. A wide variety of animations and slider effects are available in Zoho Show to choose from.

Considering the wide array of features and functions which these business presentation softwares possess, it would be entirely foolish to depend on an age-old tool like PowerPoint for your presentation. But PowerPoint still enjoys a major part of the market share when it comes to business presentation softwares. It should also be kept in mind that since PowerPoint has been around for as long as I can remember, it has been well documented. It is very easy to find an online tutorial related to PowerPoint, whereas you might struggle to find a tutorial for the tools mentioned above. Choose PowerPoint if you must, but otherwise there is no end to options if you can ignore PowerPoint.

Sony Xperia C4 Dual vs Sony Xperia C3: Battle of the selfie smartphones

In July last year, Sony joined the selfie arena with the launch of its first selfie-focused smartphone, the Xperia C3. The brand touted it as the world’s best selfie smartphone. This year, the company is back with the Xperia C3’s successor, the Sony Xperia C4 Dual. The new device offers slightly upgraded features to impress the selfie lovers.

If you are thinking about purchasing a new selfie-centric smartphone, the Xperia C3 Dual and Xperia C4 Dual are among some of the best offerings. However, which one is better, the C4 Dual or C3 Dual, let’s compare their specs to find out.

Sony Xperia C4 Dual vs Sony Xperia C3 Dual: the successor or predecessor?

Sony Xperia C4 vs Xperia C3

Camera features

For selfies, the Sony Xperia C4 Dual and Xperia C3 Dual, both offer 5MP front cameras with 25mm wide-angle lenses and soft LED flash. Both have Exmor RS sensors which delivers sharp pictures with low noise even in low light conditions. Coming to the rear camera, the Xperia C3 Dual offers an 8MP autofocus shooter with an LED flash, the Xperia C4 Dual on the other hand has a better 13MP AF camera coupled with an LED flash. Both are loaded with the company’s suite of camera apps like AR Mask and Style Portrait. Overall, the Xperia C4 has better imaging capabilities than the Xperia C3.

Design

Design wise, the Sony Xperia C4 Dual and Xperia C3 Dual, both offer almost similar design, and are being offered in usual vibrant hues. However, placement of the rear camera is different along with the speaker grill. The Xperia C4 Dual is 7.9mm around the waist, while the Xperia C3 Dual is slightly slimmer at 7.6mm. The former is three grams lighter than the latter at 147 grams.

Display

The Xperia C3 Dual arrived with a large 5.5-inch display bearing a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, resulting into a pixel density of 267ppi. The Xperia C4 Dual has the same 5.5-inch screen, but offers a full HD resolution display panel with a much higher pixel density of 401ppi, so it delivers better media experience than the Xperia C3 Dual.

Configuration

The Sony Xperia C3 Dual is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, aided by 1GB of RAM and an Adreno 305 GPU. The Xperia C4 Dual on the other hand is fuelled by a 1.7GHz octa-core MediaTek processor, coupled with a Mali-T760 MP 2 GPU and 2GB of RAM. So the Xperia C4 Dual clearly delivers better performance than the C3 Dual. The Xperia C4 Dual has 16GB of internal memory, further expandable up to 128GB, and Xperia C3 Dual has 8GB of flash memory, which is further expandable up to 32GB. On the software front, the C3 Dual arrived with Android KitKat, while the C4 Dual offers the latest Android Lollipop out of the box.

Connectivity and Battery

The Xperia C3 Dual offers the usual set of connectivity options including dual-SIM slots, 3G, NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and micro-USB. However, the Xperia C4 Dual supports India’s 4G LTE bands to offer high speed data downloading. Coming to the battery, the Xperia C3 Dual offers a 2,500mAh unit, while the Xperia C4 Dual is loaded with a slightly bigger, 2,600mAh battery.

Conclusion

The Sony Xperia C3 Dual is still a decent selfie-centric device with a large display and quad-core computing. The device is currently retailing around Rs 15,000 on the e-commerce websites. However, the Sony Xperia C4 Dual brings better primary camera, latest software, a faster octa-core processor, double the RAM and storage than the C3 Dual, and is future ready device with support for 4G LTE networks. Although it is expected to be priced around Rs 24,000, but the upgrades worth the price. So which one is your pick? Share in the comments.

Can a SmartPhone Replace Your Wallet

Mobile payment is the new trend when it comes to paying electronically. Credit cards, debit cards and cash have their primary significance in the payment system. However, payment through mobile phones is what most individuals as well as small businesses are aiming to achieve in the long run.

Why Leave Cash?

A general question everyone would wonder. Cash is convenient. Cash is light. More importantly, cash has been there for as long as humans of the 21st century can remember. In this world of crime and hunger lurking in every corner and every street, even in the busiest of towns, security is perhaps the major issue. You are no longer safe wearing an expensive watch, let alone carrying a stack of bucks while going for shopping. Cash is no longer a safe option especially when alternatives are less prone to being mugged, lost or even wasted. Moreover, cash is paper after all, and paper is as durable as it gets. Seeing that technology has shifted our memories, documentaries, architectural prototypes to digital reserves, it is only a matter of time when digitization overcomes the money sector as well.

Are The Plastics Seeing Their End too?

While the cash is clearly approaching a lack in popularity when it comes to carrying it, debit cards have been known to grow more accepted. People who have not yet adopted the wireless methods of mobile payments continue to adjust their shopping and payment strategies to debit cards. Nonetheless, plastics have not made it to the top in more than half a decade. Also, card processing fees do not benefit their standing in the money zone any further. And since they have not yet reached their summit in the cash world, and the wireless scheme is already on the go, it seems reasonable to assume that plastics will be replaced quite conveniently by the mobile payment methods.

Question Still Remains

We still ask. Can the form of paper cash be overcome wholly by a stream of wireless payment services? At this point in time, given customers in the society from all sorts of backgrounds and situations, a shift to online bank accounting does not sound like a generalized solution. Owning a smart phone, having a bank account and then denying the flow of paper cash in the community does not sound like an easy bite to swallow for people from the low-income groups.

Where Does Mobile Payment Stand?

Given the above options, it seems as though mobile payment has a lot of capacity to settle its roots and stir in a digitized cash revolution. Nevertheless, there needs to be a stream of generalization for users from all sorts of age-groups as well as earning situations, so as to lead itself into the public. If a wholesale cotton thread merchant can spread word using applications like Whatsapp, this defines generalization. When utility with mobile payment is already there, it is only a matter of a convenient application and service that will bind the human race in the ultimate trail of digitized wireless payments.

Staying in the Limelight: 3 Unknown Apps Helping Performers Engage with their Fan Base.

“Lady Limelight is a jealous lady. She wants all of your attention. You don’t have any time to think of anything else but her, because pretty soon that light will be shining on somebody else.” Buck Owens.

The days of musicians being idolized based on their MTV performances alone are long gone. To stay relevant and keep trending, modern performers need to adopt means of releasing their content online and continually connecting with their worldwide fan bases. Failure to engage fans can cause up-and-coming performers to slide off into the shadows very quickly, or never really take off. Aside from the internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, a number of new apps now offer content creators a goldmine of fan base interaction and community building opportunities:

 

  • ChallengeMe

Challange app invitation

 

ChallengeMe is an interactive entertainment and chat platform for creating and accepting challenges. The app allows users to issue private or public challenges and then to vote on the posted videos and chat with other participants while the clock ticks away on the challenge time limit.

Bay Area-based R&B artist Kehlani recently used the app to interact with her fan base by challenging them to post videos of themselves performing one of her songs with the chance to win a FaceTime date with her. The campaign received more than 1,500 video responses in less than 48 hours, with fans eager to share their own videos with their peers and with Kehlani herself.

“The success of the Kehlani campaign shows just how influential ChallengeMe can be if used in the right way. Aside from a fun app for friends to enjoy, it is also a great platform for interactions with brands, artists and other influencers. We don’t want our app to be used just by frat boys challenging each other to push-up competitions or keg-stands. The potential for up-and-coming artists to engage with their fan bases using ChallengeMe is huge,” says Cameron Mclain, CEO and Founder of ChallengeMe.

 

 

  • Videoo – #Share1Love Campaign

videoo app for interact with fan base

Earlier this year, The Bob Marley Foundation partnered with the Videoo app to compile video contributions from fans for their #Share1Love campaign. Videoo is a new media platform that organizes videos into playlists that are sourced and selected by the online community of video contributors. The community has total control of the playlists and moulds them into the best lists possible by watching, voting, adding, sharing and remixing.

In celebration of what would have been Bob Marley´s 70th birthday—and in partnership with the non-profit organization, Charity:Water—the Bob Marley Foundation invited fans from around the world to record and upload videos of up to 33 seconds that show how they bring love to those around them.

For every person who uploaded a video “showing how he or she shares love and kindness with the world,” Videoo donated $1 to help Charity: Water bring clean, safe drinking water to those in need. Participants were also encouraged to share their clips on social media using the hashtag, #Share1Love, and nominate their friends to join the movement.

 

 

  • Mobile First Entertainment

L.A-based Mobile First Entertainment (MFE) is a new mobile video platform that was designed by performers, for performers. Unlike many competitors in the market of online video, the team behind MFE all come from acting and performance backgrounds and know how hard it is to make a living as an underdog in the world of showbiz.

To make a name for themselves, content creators of all types need a platform to engage with fans and share their new material. Internet giants like YouTube do provide a platform, but they don’t offer artists any publicity or the chance to collect decent incomes from online plays. By joining the MFE community, each performer is given his or her own branded app, including personal content and social media channels, and receives the majority of income — up to 75% — generated by online videos.

“Mobile video is trending, as most Millennials don’t watch TV anymore at all! MFE genuinely believes that video sharing is the way forward for performers in the modern digital age. Our goal is to provide our fellow content creators with direct control and higher monetization from their popular internet content , as part of the MFE community,” says Saif Rahman, Co-founder and CEO of Mobile First Entertainment.

Be it up-and-coming musicians, comedians or social commentators, MFE is designed to put the focus on the artists — not the platform — and ensure that creators receive fair compensation for their content. The app brings together all of the performers that social media streams into one centralized place, making it easy for fans to keep up-to-date with new material and insights into their favorite stars lives.

Why Locking Down a Domain Name is So Important For Branding

So, you’re looking to enhance your presence on the web. Maybe you have a business that you want to get off the ground. Or perhaps you’re ready to unleash the next great blog or community on the digital world. Sounds great in theory. But, unfortunately for you, millions of others have had the same idea over the last decade.

domain name branding

Carving out an online niche is becoming more difficult by the day. Does that mean you should give up on your quest for World Wide Web relevance? Absolutely not! There is no reason to bail on your goals. However, it is important to get a handle on the most important factors in getting your name out there. One of these integral ingredients is the domain name.

Why domain Name Is Important?

Spread the word

The domain name is one of the most recognisable parts of any site, often quoted when the site is talked about in everyday discussion. Think about the biggest sites in the world. Google, YouTube, Facebook – their domain names have all become common verbs synonymous with the actual sites. Of course, these are revolutionary sites that changed the way people interact online. But if their names were clunky and disjointed, there’s a chance they wouldn’t have become so commonplace. A crisp, clean, catchy name for your site can lead to enhanced status among its peers. Brand value is an important aspect for any business, so getting a branding domain name is key to success.

What’s in a name?

The name of your site goes a long way in determining how people think about it. A more straightforward, literal domain name might make people think a site will be more standardised and professional. A cheekier moniker will give your entity a lighthearted and fun aura. Choosing a domain name that fits your site’s tone is important. The domain name is one of the first things potential visitors will be exposed to in online searches or conversations. A good first impression from your domain name can go a long way in garnering traffic.

Control your content

If you have a great business idea, there’s a decent chance that somebody else also has it. That is why it’s smart to expand your domain name procurement to more than just one entry. It can be beneficial to grab some similar names that could be used against you later. This lets you better control your company’s concept and online presence from the pitfalls of potential copycats. In a worst-case scenario in which you can’t quite get your site off the ground, somebody might approach you to buy the rights.

Why wait?

So the concept of the next great website is percolating in your brain. You’ve got some general ideas and are starting to hammer out your vision, but you’re not quite ready to go live. Don’t let that deter you from grabbing that perfect domain name you crave. Waiting can be damaging to your site’s chances of success.

Just because you aren’t ready to fill your site with content doesn’t mean you can’t call bags on a domain name. iiNet offers domain name registration at super affordable rates. Registering means you’ll still have exclusive rights to the domain name even if the rest of life gets in the way and it takes longer than expected to get your site off the ground.

Getting an online business started is difficult. But registering your preferred domain name is one obstacle that can easily be avoided. Lock in your site’s URL for a couple of years so it is waiting for you when it’s showtime.
