Customization of Users' Avatar
Creating an avatar for an app in the health and well-being context
As part of our HCI internship in October 2021, our project is about the creation and customization of a virtual avatar. We chose this part of the main project because, especially in an application where health and well-being are at stake, it could be important how satisfied users are with the representation of themselves. Users of the application should feel comfortable with their avatar and not be pushed into stereotypical representations. The user can change between eleven categories: gender, body type, age, skin color, hair color, hair style, eye color, beard (only for men), clothes color top, clothes color bottom and shoes color. Besides this customizability and the incoming identification of the user, fun (gamification) and immediate satisfaction were further motivations for our work.
