“Gamification during an app’s loading time”

[former_member222225]

Hello, I am a university student writing his thesis from the
following topic at SAP.

“Gamification during an app’s loading time”

During loading time the users do nothing, they are bored.

The aim is to show a gamification content in a dialog, which
leads to perceive the loading time shorter.

I shall create a prototype, in an android SAP application using
GPS, free web services (weather, etc.).

Any hints are greatly appreciated:

• What goals should we seek to accomplish with this
  prototype/research?
• Ideas what to do/show in 4-6 seconds
• Do’s and Don’ts suggestions
• Links to similar projects

Thanks !!!

I know this thread is old, but just found it and thought it is interesting:

In November even that patent will expire which would hinder such :
