Abstract

As web usage grows and diversifies, design of interfaces for all becomes a big challenge. This work proposes an approach that enables to involve an unlimited number of users in the design process in a playful way. It benefits from resources offered by the Web as well as from the interest of people for playing games in the Internet. The central idea is the use of GWAPs (Games with a Purpose) to support the designer in choices of design elements, informed by a massive number of players. This paper presents an environment, named Games With Interaction Design Objective (GWIDO), and discuss preliminary evaluation with one of the games in the environment. Results suggest this approach may represent a promising effort towards more inclusive design choices to computer systems user interface in the web.
