UX and Accessibility at Aptiv
There are over 2 billion portable touchscreen devices in use today, and hundreds of millions more installed in cars and kiosks. Sales of traditional mouse-and-keyboard computers have been falling for years, replaced by mobile phones and tablets. Mobile is the new default, but there is a lot of myths and out-of-date practices on how touch works, and how to design for mobile.
Touch Design for Mobile Interfaces shows new insights from research on hardware, people, interactions, and environments. Steven Hoober has studied in depth how people actually touch and hold mobile phones and tablets. Steven spent over 20 years designing products for mobile phones, tablets, kiosks, and computers.
The book also includes guidelines and best practices you can apply to your designs to address usability and accessibility issues immediately. Download a free PDF sample (14MB).
