Abstract

This paper introduces a platform enabling prototypical and manipulable envisioning of experiences related to tourism (such as services provided by ski resorts) through a three-dimensional installation also understood here as a playground. Combining the service design concept of the customer journey with a gamified and playable ski slope installation, it is possible to visualize the customer journey prior to, during and after the skiing holiday, as users can play with the experience of their ski holidays. In the proposed approach, a gamified ski slope installation presents a novel way for both service providers and customers to interact with the customer journey through a three-dimensional model that is playable through its form and gamified through its rules of engagement.
