The Scenario
A photo management app wants to add gesture-based interactions: swipe to delete, long-press to select multiple, pinch to zoom, and double-tap to favourite. The challenge: gestures are invisible — how do users discover them?
The Brief
Design the complete gesture interaction system. Define each gesture, its visual feedback, discoverability mechanisms, and fallback for accessibility.
Deliverables
- A gesture inventory: each gesture, what it does, and the visual feedback during and after the action
- Discoverability design: how first-time users learn about gestures (onboarding, contextual hints, coaching marks)
- Conflict resolution: what happens when gestures overlap (e.g., swipe to delete vs swipe to navigate)
- Accessibility fallbacks: alternative interactions for users who cannot perform gestures
Submission Guidance
Gestures are powerful but invisible. If a user does not know swipe-to-delete exists, it does not exist for them. Discoverability is the hardest problem here.
