Editor's Notes
- hello a mix of general mobile UX
- some context... 7 years in mobile designers/developers/entrepreneurs push ui boundaries, ideas lab for mobile user interfaces 10 person team in Brighton
- it’s the UX that makes the platform and your app stand out Golden nuggets Quite a simple and straightforward session apply to whatever platforms you’re working on
- Physical interactions e.g. Touchscreen, haptics, etc Tangible era, 20 years
- So many things to consider and more so in the future...
- Brought us to mobile 7 years ago...
- Constraints make mobile interesting. A challenge. If you're not aware of the constraints, the UX will be poor. Make the most of constraints
- Efficiency, relevancy,
- Android is now the most popular platform for developers
- Platform concurrency. Most developers work on multiple platforms - on average, 2.8 platforms per developer, based on sample of 400 respondents - Developer Economics Report 2010, Telefonica
- left: device install base right: num of apps in the store
- fingernail interaction rather than a finger interaction Broken app store (discoverability) Poor UX Many good lessons learnt
- Windows Phone 7 is here! UX comes first OS Built from scratch Discoverability fixed Quality over quantity Flash support coming soon after launch, we’re told...
- Highly glanceable Allows users to find their way Simple, elegant, powerful, universal Not overpowering
- tell me more....
- What emotion do you want to evoke? Does my app make me smile?
- understand your users
- understand your users
- Like a large bag of chocolate buttons single early failure - non returning user Glance and Go
- Duration of experience is getting longer Slate devices - more relaxed, explorative experiences eBay app - 4 times more money spent on iPad than iPhone (ref?)
- Motorola Exit, Quit,
- Swiss army knife. Technological advancement and usability pink: iPhone 3GS, green: iPhone 3G, the rest: single-function devices aka cameras blue: Nikon D90
- Miniaturisation (shrinking things down) vs Mobilisation (process of selecting the features most important to the user given the mobile context)
- Think about the core feature(s) If you can't get it right in 2D, don't even consider going into 3D. Complexity and poor UX for the sake of an 80s buzz word.      Simpler, more usable interfaces - consider the forgotten (and rapidly growing) markets
- grocery - little and often. Speed is key Design around this
- dig as much as possible don’t make assumptions Blackberry’s biggest market is not enterprise It’s games. Why. BBM and qwerty keyboards
- over the current app-centric state
- focus shifts from app to person ppl first, function second
- [todo] wireframe doc here
- Rec. touch Target size is 9mm Min touch target != < 7mm 2mm min spacing Visual size is 60-100% of the target size Makes the experience more usable &#xA0;
- Rec. touch Target size is 9mm Min touch target != < 7mm 2mm min spacing Visual size is 60-100% of the target size Makes the experience more usable &#xA0;
- Tap, dbl tap, touch and hold, pan, flick, pinch and stretch Consistency is key &#xA0;
- UX is an art and is hard minimising the number of subconscious questions the user needs to make
