Smartwatch Interface Design

The article for today is:

Exploring the interface design of assisting children to find books in the library using smartwatches
By Wei-Ching Wang, Chun-Ching Chen, Ko-Chiu Wu, 2017

It includes designs for a smartwatch that children could use to find books in the library. Different designs/solutions are needed for children because they are likely to use the “standard” devices incorrectly. The researchers used information from (expert) interviews as well as analysis of current products to assess the design for smaller interfaces. They came up with guidelines for the design of smaller interfaces – mobile phones, smartwatches. I know that navigation could be a challenge for smaller interfaces so I am happy that they designed the book-finding user interface and also prepared a navigation flow of the smartwatch interface. Navigation affects usability.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability.
