'Sketching' Mobile User Interfaces |
 |
|
Learn how global trends in mobile computing will change the practice of user experience development.
One of the greatest challenges in designing for mobile devices is gaining perspective early.
What you see in a wireframe or a comp on the desktop and what you see when you hold the same
design in your hand can often be an entirely different experience.
How can we move into this handheld environment earlier? What methods can we use to simulate
the interactions and gain insight on usability? In this talk, frog design will share some
techniques used to approach a recent multi-modal handset UI.
We will show examples of how simple dialogue, paper prototyping, video simulation and 'wizard of oz'
environments were employed to gather concrete findings while allowing for maximum flexibility.
