Diseño de la interfaz gráfica de una aplicación móvil para el aprendizaje de la lengua de señas ecuatoriana

Abstract

This project aims to develop the graphical user interface design for a sign language learning application for adolescents aged 12 to 16. This document records the process followed according to Jesse James Garrett's methodology, which is organized into five stages. It begins with a field study to understand the problem, identify user needs, and define the application's objectives through interviews and surveys, culminating in the creation of a functional prototype that includes videos, practical activities, and gamification elements. This methodology was complemented by other techniques such as mood boards, which helped define the application's visual style, and the gamification approach described by Deterding, Dixon, Khaled, and Nacke (2011). The project seeks to go beyond design, promoting inclusion and empathy through brief information sessions and, above all, opportunities for reflection, resulting in an interactive and accessible tool.
