Description

In this episode of Physics of Gamification, we explore how timing and speed shape the way users interpret your system — just like the Doppler Effect shifts sound depending on relative motion. Whether you’re giving feedback too early, too late, too often, or not at all — perception changes. And perception is everything.

We’ll dive into real-life design scenarios, reflect on how player movement alters feedback clarity, and offer practical ways to tune your system’s signals. Because gamification isn’t just what you say — it’s when and how fast you say it.
