Transcript of Mobile is all about touch
Design of Interactions
Mobile devices employ touch screens; which provide unique opportunities and constraints to view and interact with content.IxD Designers consider ergonomics, gestures, transitions, and finally, mobile-specific interaction patterns.
Ergonomics
Pay attention to device dimensions and concerns of touch screens.
The way a user holds a device and touches the screen, for example, influences how easy it is for that user to reach parts of the screen.

Gestures
Gestures are a crucial component of mobile IxD. Each part of a touchscreen is dedicated to specific functionality and displays content in that area.Google’s Android and Apple’s iOS operating systems both heavily employ gestures.

Transitions
Transitions and animations help boost user- engagement by creating interactions that connect the boundaries between app pages.
Transitions facilitate recall and prevent users from getting lost.
UX Designers
UX designers aim to create apps that are easy to use, have utility, and are efficient at performing tasks.

Why is it Important?
App success hinges on one thing -- how users perceive it!
Questions immediately run through a visitor’s mind when they interact with technology. Instant decisions are made... will they open the app again or simply delete it?
The UX Difference
APP USERS WILL ASK...
“What value am I receiving? Is it easy to use?”User experience design is all about striving to make them answer “Yes” to all of those questions.
UI Designers
User Interface Designers create graphical elements that users will directly interact with.The graphical interface is usually placed into wireframes before being handed off to the development team.
