Workshop on prototyping to support the interaction designing in mobile application development (PID-MAD 2013)

Abstract

Recent changes in the mobile environment; such as the addition of multi-touch gestures, usage of sensors, or single-focused mobile apps; brought several challenges for interaction designers in communicating their ideas and thoughts enduring early design activities. Traditional prototyping techniques may not provide sufficient support due to the lack of current mobile interaction paradigms in them. Therefore, a shift is required in prototyping techniques and approaches in order to support properly the interaction design process of mobile application development for the current mobile environment. Targeting these concerns, the workshop envisions that the research must address the need for a change in existing prototyping techniques as well as focusing on novel prototyping approaches and frameworks that would support not only the interaction design process but the whole development process of mobile application development

Pid-Mad 2014

“…As one step in this direction, we held the first PID-MAD workshop (http://hciv.de/pidmad13) at MobileHCI 2013 [3,4], on 27 August 2013 in Munich, Germany. The focus of the first workshop was on novel prototyping approaches and frameworks for supporting interaction design paradigms and processes in mobile application development in order to enable the interaction designers to communicate their ideas properly.…”
