Chapter 1

Standards, Assumptions, and Problems

We’ll learn how various standards, assumptions, and problems can be problematic for designers of today’s mobile touchscreens. The specifications, norms, and principles of earlier times are sometimes not to be trusted as they are too often based on technological assumptions that no longer apply.

You will learn:

  • The dangers of having no metrics or bad ones.

  • What to track and how to track it.

chapter 2

Finding Out How People Hold and Touch

Chapter 5 covers the observational research Stevn Hoober conducted to discover how people actually manipulate their mobile phones and tablets in everyday use. Through debunking some widely accepted but incorrect assumptions, we’ll learn most of all to change the way we think about designing for touch, because while there are many ways to hold a device, everyone uses them all, constantly shifting from one to another.

You will learn:

  • How to consolidate all you know about your users.

  • How to carry out lightweight user research.
