What we used to know was what Apple told you, which is the 44 pixel target. But that was based on some convenience of that platform’s design, and pixel sizes. It’s not based on the real world, on people’s hands, fingers and thumbs.
Now we have real research, including thousands of new, original observations on how people hold and touch their phones, phablets and tablets. We can increasingly understand why people act this way, and can use this information to design for the different ways people actual use their mobile devices.
With more than 15 years of design expertise, Steven Hoober of 4ourth Mobile helps companies worldwide to add user experience, interaction, and interface design to their mobile, wireless, and small-screen products – come see this preview of his 2014 UXPA Conference event.
