Modeling the mobile user experience
with Bryan Rieger and Stephanie Rieger
22ndJun '10
About the event
At a recent design workshop whose focus was the user experience of an operating system that has shipped on millions of devices, someone casually stated "A design without a programmer is a design that may not be realized". This is a reality for almost every technology product being designed today.
As the products we create become more complex and rely on an increasing number of screens and platforms, accurately communicating the intended design to programmers and other stakeholders is becoming increasingly important... and challenging.
This presentation will discuss the challenges inherent in communicating the user experience throughout an organisation using only wireframes and other paper based documents. With a particular focus on mobile devices, we will present ways to rethink prototyping and better communicate, test, and iterate ideas.
