Stack out by simply un-pinching their fingers (as if to zoom-IN on an object). Knowing that multiple apps are open, the user will now be able to spread the If the desired app is NOT next in line, then the user would NOT continue to swipe, and would move to Step #3.ģ) To re-cap, the user will now have their fingers 1/4 of the way in from the left of the screen, with their fingers still in a closed-pinch position. If at this point, the desired app is on top of the stack, then the user could simply continue to swipe to the right, and theĪpp would become fullscreen. Of the screen indicating how many apps are open, simply to help the user realize that multiple apps are open. There might also be a number in the top-left These would stacked in the left-center of the screen with empty space above and below the stack. Time, the user would see a "stack" of apps sliding in from the left (similar to a deck of cards). HOWEVER, if there are multiple other apps open, then the user would proceed to Step #2.Ģ) If multiple other apps are open, then sliding in (slightly) from the left would cause the current screen to temporarily move over to the right, leaving the left-most 1/4 of the screen for what I am about to explain.

It might be best to look at them (5 total) before reading my descriptions below, to avoid confusion. ***I've drawn some pictures of what I am about to describe and uploaded them to my SkyDrive. This could interrupt the task at hand, and would become frustrating. Not only would I have to swipe 4 times to get to it, but if I were to accidentally swipe 5 times, I would then have to swipe through all of the apps again to get back to the oneĪnother problem I foresee, is that people may accidentally swipe out of their desired app while using a similar gesture during a game, etc. This would be if I had 5 apps open, and my desired app is last in line. This is fine, but can become tedious if many apps are open, especially considering that app switching is unidirectional. Users may switch between apps on a tablet by swiping in from the left of the screen with one finger. Although I currently use the desktop version, I have seen that After using the Windows Developer Preview for a little while, I have come up with an idea for a more efficient way to switch apps.
