“when

dominates”
-Don Norman
Joshua Porter (Bokardo) offers some relevant
thoughts…


“The innovation in these applications is
not that they let us do something new,
but that they allow us to do what we
already do better, more often, in more
places, and more quickly. “
(commenting on Web 2.0 interfaces)
7 Lessons
about UX...
Lesson 1:



Place better
‘experiences’

He just noticed that
they were broken, and
he fixed them.

Lesson 2:



Start with
actual
experiences.
Cell phones do all skinds:of stuff—

browsing, contact management,

by forcing you to press lots of
                experiences.
tiny buttons, navigate diverse
heterogeneous interfaces and
squint at a tiny screen. “Everybody
hates their phone,” Jobs says,
“and that’s not a good thing. And
there’s an opportunity there.”

Solve the real

But the right solution is to put the speaker
in the right place in the first place. That’s
why our speaker isn’t on the bottom, so you
can have it on the table, and you don’t need
feet.” Sure enough, no feet toe the iPhone’s
smooth lines.

Lesson 4:



Play to think.
The iPhone developed the way a

start. A few years ago Jobs noticed
how many development dollars
were being spent... on tablet PCs.
...so he had Apple engineers
noodle around with a tablet PC.
When they showed him the
touchscreen they came up with, he
got excited. So excited he forgot all
about tablet computers.

                        Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
Lesson 5:



Treat
interfaces like
conversations.
Lesson 5:

When you need to dial, it shows
you a keypad; when you need
               interfaces like
other buttons, the screen serves
them up. When you want to watch

a video, the buttons disappear.
Suddenly, the interface isn’t fixed
and rigid, it’s fluid and molten.
Software replaces hardware.

Lesson 6:



Lead with a
vision.
Jobs demanded special
treatment from ehis phone

              Lead with a
service partner, Cingular, and he
got it. He even forced Cingular

to re-engineer its infrastructure
to handle the iPhone’s unique
voicemail scheme. “They broke
all their typical process rules
to make it happen,” says Tony
Fadell, who heads Apple’s iPod
division. “They were infected by
this product, and they were like,
we’ve gotta do this!”
                       Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
Lesson 7:



Obsess on the
details.
Unlike most competitors, Apple also places
an inordinate emphasis on interface design. It

make sure every pixel is right,” says Scott Forstall,
Apple’s head of Platform Experience (whatever
that is). “We will argue over literally a single pixel.”
As a result, when you swipe your finger across
the screen to unlock the iPhone, you’re not just
accessing a system of nested menus, you’re
entering a tiny universe, where data exist as bouncy,
gemlike, animated objects that behave according to
consistent rules of virtual physics.

Lesson 7:



              Obsess on the
              details.
(This is from Kathy Sierra)
The introduction of
the iPhone sets the bar
high... these companies
must innovate —
particularly on the user
experience — to compete
with Apple.
Forrester Report, “Apple’s iPhone Changes The
Stakes, Not The Game”
So, what does
the user experience
     team do?
We make
things work
for people.
To do this, we...


      - Start with an
        understanding of users.

      - Imagine what could be.     This includes:
                                   Visual Design

      - Experiment through         Information Design
        rapid prototyping.         Information Architecture
                                   Web and Application
                                   Interface Design
      - Encourage participation.   (Interaction Design)

“We set about rethinking the UI from the user’s
perspective, which is ‘results-oriented,’ rather than
from the developer’s perspective, which tends
to be ‘feature-oriented’ or ‘command-oriented’–
thereby enabling people to focus on what they
want to do rather than on how they do it.”

  • 8. Psst. It’s not about more features.
  • 10. Joshua Porter (Bokardo) offers some relevant thoughts… “The innovation in these applications is not that they let us do something new, but that they allow us to do what we already do better, more often, in more places, and more quickly. “ (commenting on Web 2.0 interfaces)

When you Lget o n 1 : e s s right down to it, the device Place better doesn’t even have that many new features— ‘experiences’ it’s not like Jobs invented voicemail, ahead of or text messaging, or more features. conference calling, or mobile Web browsing. He just noticed that they were broken, and he fixed them. Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 15. Cell phones do all skinds:of stuff— Le son 2 calling, text messaging, web Start with browsing, contact management, music playback, photos and actual video—but they do it very badly, by forcing you to press lots of experiences. tiny buttons, navigate diverse heterogeneous interfaces and squint at a tiny screen. “Everybody hates their phone,” Jobs says, “and that’s not a good thing. And there’s an opportunity there.” Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 17. Lesson 3: Solve the real problems.
  • 18. Lesson 3: “Your phone’s got feet on,” he says, not Solve the real unkindly. “Why would anybody put feet on a phone?” Ive has the answer, of course: “It problems. raises the speaker on the back off the table. But the right solution is to put the speaker in the right place in the first place. That’s why our speaker isn’t on the bottom, so you can have it on the table, and you don’t need feet.” Sure enough, no feet toe the iPhone’s smooth lines. Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 20. The iPhone developed the way a Lesson 4: lot of cool things do: with a false Play to think. start. A few years ago Jobs noticed how many development dollars were being spent... on tablet PCs. ...so he had Apple engineers noodle around with a tablet PC. When they showed him the touchscreen they came up with, he got excited. So excited he forgot all about tablet computers. Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 22. Lesson 5: Treat When you need to dial, it shows you a keypad; when you need interfaces like other buttons, the screen serves them up. When you want to watch conversations. a video, the buttons disappear. Suddenly, the interface isn’t fixed and rigid, it’s fluid and molten. Software replaces hardware. Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 24. Jobs demanded special treatment from ehis phone L sson 6: Lead with a service partner, Cingular, and he got it. He even forced Cingular vision. to re-engineer its infrastructure to handle the iPhone’s unique voicemail scheme. “They broke all their typical process rules to make it happen,” says Tony Fadell, who heads Apple’s iPod division. “They were infected by this product, and they were like, we’ve gotta do this!” Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 25. Lesson 7: Obsess on the details.
  • 26. Unlike most competitors, Apple also places an inordinate emphasis on interface design. It Lesson 7: sweats the cosmetic details that don’t seem very Obsess on the important until you really sweat them. “I actually have a photographer’s loupe that I use to look to details. make sure every pixel is right,” says Scott Forstall, Apple’s head of Platform Experience (whatever that is). “We will argue over literally a single pixel.” As a result, when you swipe your finger across the screen to unlock the iPhone, you’re not just accessing a system of nested menus, you’re entering a tiny universe, where data exist as bouncy, gemlike, animated objects that behave according to consistent rules of virtual physics. Quote from TIME Magazine article “The Apple Of Your Ear”
  • 27. Lesson 7: Obsess on the details. (This is from Kathy Sierra)
  • 28. The introduction of the iPhone sets the bar high... these companies must innovate — particularly on the user experience — to compete with Apple. Forrester Report, “Apple’s iPhone Changes The Stakes, Not The Game”
  • 29. So, what does the user experience team do?

  • 35. Things we’ll do (that you might care about) • map ‘stories’ back to Activities — so product releases make sense! • contribute to real product ownership (YEAH!) • create less rework • develop reusable code. • make our products more valuable
  • 36. “We set about rethinking the UI from the user’s perspective, which is ‘results-oriented,’ rather than from the developer’s perspective, which tends to be ‘feature-oriented’ or ‘command-oriented’– thereby enabling people to focus on what they want to do rather than on how they do it.” (commenting on the new UI of Office 12)
