Explore the emerging area of wearable computing, such as the Apple Watch and Android Wear, and document the impact of these devices on user interface design.
What will be an ideal response?
It is difficult to predict the future, but the introduction of the Apple Watch, Android Wear, and other wearable devices promises to further shake up user interface design principles. Advanced technology will support the evolution, but the real driving force will be user empowerment, which results in customer satisfaction, increased productivity, and bottom-line savings.
This project should resonate with students, since it introduces them to one of the newest and most exciting areas of user interface design. It’s suitable for working in small groups (2-3 students).
The more advanced students might consider actually developing a prototype app for these smartphones as an extended class project.
