Gerrit Grunwald
Everybody knows boring form based user interfaces. What if one would add mobile devices to improve the UX of desktop- or web-applications? In a research project at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland we have tried to address this topic in a totally different way. Usually you would expect to rework the UI and make it more fancy but here the idea is to enhance controls in a way that they can be remote controlled by a mobile device. As an example you can think about a text input field that gets the focus and the actual data input is done on a mobile phone. This session will give you an overview about the concept and will show you some results of the research project as demos.
