User customization of the GamingAnywhere Android mobile client interface

The GamingAnywhere platform supports playing various computer and console games on a wide set of different mobile devices by using an Android mobile client. Due to the variety of game types and the heterogeneity of devices in terms of screen size, it is virtually impossible to provide adequate controls for each of the games. Therefore we implemented and incorporated into the Android GA client a component for building custom user interfaces. The component allows users to build appropriate custom user interfaces according to a game´s requirements, device limitations, and user needs. We conducted a small scale subjective study to investigate the usability of the component and custom user interfaces. Results show that users are satisfied and can easily and effortlessly build their own interfaces by using the integrated component in the mobile GA client.
