In this paper, we describe a novel concept for motivating users to explore applications using natural user interfaces in the automotive domain. Based on prior findings, it can be very hard for users to detect opportunities of action in such systems.
Additionally, traditional “did you know?” hints seem to be ignored by many users today. As a countermeasure, we describe an approach that shall motivate users to explore natural user interfaces by using game elements. By awarding the user with badges and experience level-ups, we hope to create a stronger motivation that is at least maintained until the user is used to the system.
