Closertag: Giorgio Venturi
Giorgio Venturi will talk about how Android apps have been heavily criticised in the past due to poor user experience. One of the reasons why this happened is lack of solid & consistent UI patterns. For example, how do you navigate between the different sections of the app? How do you provide visual and aural feedback avoiding interrupting the user? How do you allow background usage? The goal of this session is to look at some of the emerging best practices on the Android Market and analyse recent advancements in fluid navigation, interaction and progressive disclosure of information.
