The UX for Multi Device Applications

As we see more devices flood the market, we run into challenges with the variety of specifications and building user experiences for them. Here is my presentation at FITC Mobile, where I discuss the options. Total running time: 50 minutes, 10 seconds.

In this presentation, I walk the audience through the entire process of building a sample application across multiple devices. And I explore whether it’s better to utilize the native controls for each device or use a more consistent and custom UI (that may be on an existing desktop/Web app).

Some topics that are covered:

  • Screen size
  • Screen Resolution
  • Orientation (Portrait and Landscape Modes)
  • Physical Navigation Buttons
  • On Screen Keyboards vs Physical Keyboards
  • Gesture’s and Multi-touch
  • Device Form Factor
  • Left-handed vs Right-handed users and placement of UI elements
  • Network Connectivity: How does your app respond without it?
