Enhancing User Experience in Mobile Application Design through Gestural Interaction: A Human-Computer Interaction Perspective

Abstract

As mobile applications continue to permeate various aspects of daily life, the demand for intuitive and seamless user experiences intensifies. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research has long emphasized the importance of user-centric design principles in crafting interfaces that accommodate diverse user needs and preferences. This paper explores the efficacy of gestural interaction as a means to enhance user experience (UX) in mobile application design.

              Drawing on principles from HCI, cognitive psychology, and interaction design, this research investigates the impact of gestural interaction on user engagement, satisfaction, and task performance within mobile applications. Through a mixed-methods approach encompassing user studies, usability testing, and qualitative analysis, the study evaluates the effectiveness of gestural interfaces in facilitating natural interactions and improving overall UX.

              Findings suggest that integrating gestural interaction into mobile application design yields tangible benefits, including increased user engagement, improved task efficiency, and heightened satisfaction levels. Furthermore, the study identifies key design considerations and best practices for implementing gestural interfaces to optimize UX across diverse user demographics and usage contexts.

             This research contributes to the HCI literature by providing empirical evidence supporting the adoption of gestural interaction as a viable strategy for enhancing UX in mobile applications. By prioritizing user-centric design principles and leveraging the inherent affordances of gestural interactions, designers and developers can create more intuitive and immersive mobile experiences that resonate with users and drive sustained engagement.
