Mobile user experience is a new frontier. Untethered from a keyboard and mouse, this rich design space is lush with opportunity to invent new and more human ways for people to interact with information. Invention requires casting off many anchors and conventions inherited from the last 50 years of computer science and traditional design and jumping head first into a new and unfamiliar design space. In this talk, Rachel will provide: Insight into how designers and UX professionals can navigate the unfamiliar and fast-changing mobile landscape with grace and solid thinking. In-depth information on advanced mobile design topics UX professionals will spend the next 10+ years pioneering Tools and frameworks necessary to begin tackling mobile UX problems in this rapidly changing design space.

Even in situations in which a spirit of exploration and freedom exist, where faculty “Hey, I’ve got this great idea for an app…” are free to experiment to work beyond physical and social constraints, our cognitive habits often get in the way. Marshall McLuhan called it “the rear-view mirror effect,” noting that “We see the world through a rear-view mirror. We march backwards into the future.”!

- 51. “Right now many designers end up focusing a lot of energy on the overlying Q: view – the whole template and look and feel. But the smaller the screen gets, the less that stuff matters. Q:! One of the most important things we’ve started looking at is writing and working with APIs rather than designing ‘pages’ for one context.” ~Stephanie Rieger
- 52. “For so much digital content, there is no good metaphor to render anymore – the content is just information, text and images – so new approaches to Q:! interaction and visual UI design are needed.” ~Mike Kruzeniski
