Abstract:
Text entry is a fundamental part of human computer interaction and typing games are a popular way to train and improve text entry skills. To assess the impact of competitive gameplay on text entry performance we conducted a public app store trial. For this purpose TypeClash, a competitive multiplayer mobile typing game was designed, developed and publicly distributed. The results demonstrate a significant effect of competitive gameplay mechanics on text entry performance regarding both speed and accuracy, with competitive gameplay resulting in better text entry performance.
