Abstract

With the increasing number of utilities provided by touchscreen devices, the process of designing user interfaces is of utmost importance. In the search for UI design decisions, it is necessary to have access to current data related to user behaviour relating to touchscreen inputs. As such, the technique of crowdsourcing has been used to create a game to collect data related to drag and drop, rotate, pinch zoom in and out gestures in the project discussed in this paper. The major design decisions encountered in the project were creating an intriguing gameplay that involves all the touch gestures mentioned above and devising a mechanism to collect and store data related to such movements. The final outcome of the project is a game designed for Android devices that can be distributed via the Google Play Store, which will collect and transfer data to a remote location to be analyzed by UI designers.
