Usability of Wireless devices
Optimizing Information Delivery Through Wireless PDAs and SmartPhones
Wireless
PDAs (personal digital assistants) and smartphones are used by security
professionals, police services, healthcare professionals and operations
personnel. These users depend on PDAs to deliver a large amount of information
clearly, and they need to interact with that information efficiently. For
them, a well-designed user interface can mean the difference between a successful
operation and failure.
Having applied our proven DAViD methodology to the user experience design of numerous wireless and PDA applications, our experts can ensure that PDA applications are optimized so that professionals can successfully use them to achieve business objectives. We are adept at designing graphical user interfaces (GUI) for the small and varied form factors of PDAs.
PDA designers also benefit from our wide range of experience. That includes applying the DAViD methodology to devices from all major manufacturers, used on all wireless networks. We incorporate a compelling user experience while respecting the constraints of existing information sources, memory and bandwidth. Our user experience research and testing helps mobile product manufacturers, application providers and service providers to:
- Successfully negotiate the need to fit a lot of information - text and graphics - into a small visual form factor.
- Attain faster time to market and minimize training overhead by ensuring that PDA applications are designed for rapid user adoption.
- Achieve a consistent user experience across multiple device types, interfaces and platforms: industrial designs, text screens, GUI s and web application interfaces.
- Respond to the whole context of use for the PDA, optimizing the application for a positive user experience no matter how the mobile environment changes.
