Accessing zoom information on recordings from ipad air

Hi,

We have an 10.5" ipad air which we are using for research. We want to show images using the picture ap and record the way people interact with them, specifically how much they zoom in and out. Presumably the ipad must record this information somewhere (at least while people are doing the zooming). Is there a way to access it? Would we need a program in iOS (or whatever the new ipad OS is called)? I have no experience programming in this language!

Obviously we could code this all by hand, but it would be quite time consuming, so we are wondering whether there is a better way.

Any suggestions welcome!

iPad Air, iOS 12

Hi,

Thanks for replying, I should have been clearer on that part. No, we have figured out how to record the display (which was step 1!). But having done that we are wondering whether there is a way to get information about how much zoom people used. Otherwise we would need to go through the recording and measure each frame and calculate how much people zoomed, which would be a pain...Particularly if we show a lot of pictures to a lot of people.
