Designing the mobile metaphor
TAGS: Interface, Master, Me, School
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.
