More than just an iTablet

TAGS: , , , ,

One plus One is Three

With all the rumors of the possible release of an “ iTablet ” on how this device would look like I decided to create my own concept of it. With everybody focusing on the device I started thinking on how it would interact with other Apple devices like an iPhone or an iPod Touch. So I created this mockup on what would be a new way to play a classic poker game by using the iTablet. The iPhones could be used to private players information that is only addressed to the player and the tablet would show the games status. I think the combination of the iTablet and other devices could be a nice way to get things done the right way.


Designing the mobile metaphor

TAGS: , , ,

Say what?

Designing the mobile metaphor is the title of my proposition for my final (school) project. In this proposition I had to write about what subject I wanted to pick, why I wanted that subject and a schedule for the rest of the year. Because my interests are mobile and design/interfaces I choice to write a proposition about designing a possible mobile metaphor that would make it easier for the users to interact with there touch phone.

My research question:


“ How can we improve the interaction between users and their phones by designing a mobile interface metaphor ”

How ?

To get where I want to be I will have to undergo a literature study and do research on the existing solutions. I know there are some great solutions but I don’t think we have to see them as the perfect way of using our phone. Otherwise I find seeing mobile as a limited environment is wrong and that it probably has to do with the lack of a good user interface.

More ?

Soon I will post more on info on the status of my final project and I am also working on a Posterous blog to post interesting bits around mobile design that I find on the web.

If you can understand ‘ Dutch ’ you can find my proposition on this link.


Update 02/11/2009

Because designing the mobile metaphor was a to large subject and the lack of time my docents advised me to change my proposition. Soon you will find here an update on what I will be doing the next months.
