Abstract

Textual sources provide limited information to their readers, which could be underwhelming and may reduce engagement. Augmentation approaches have been introduced to present information more engagingly and have shown the potential in supporting information retention. In this research, we inquire further into this opportunity through the use of interactive touchscreen visual elements such as puzzle pieces. We present Retzzles, where users get to solve puzzles applied in a tourist use case. To evaluate this, we will do a within-subject study with participants 𝑛 = 30 to determine whether such elements promote engagement, which thereby supports information retention. Our preliminary findings shed light on some perspectives on the use of touchscreen displays for engagement, but are subject to further investigation. We contribute to more discussions on the use of interactive screens in other similar learning scenarios.
