MS Surface in practice: Custom Application Development

On the Surface table and chess tiles is fun, but with more ambition, we dedicate ourselves currently developing their own application.

The goal: A corporate presentation that our projects, industries and the practice of graphic UID and is appealing. We want to quickly and easily access information on methods and skills. Lots of information for the 360 interface. The characteristics of the surface are also the challenges in designing and creating their own application on the MS Surface.

360 interface - that is, information and content not to be interpreted one way, but make it accessible from all sides. Users need to change the direction of the content, for example, move or turn, can.

Another challenge is the social interaction. The surface responds to 50 simultaneous inputs. This is a great deal. The iPhone and other touchscreen have fewer so-called interaction points. What does that mean? Multiple users share the available space. The plot spaces of users overlap, and the action of a user affects the actions of other users. This new operating situation poses a particular challenge for our developers dar.

The idea was to provide our reference projects in the Vodergrund different view and a card on the table. Very quickly you realize then that the 30 inches is space very quickly crowded. Therefore, we have the logos of the projects shown as circles and provided with Kinetic.

The design of the information cards on each project was a challenge because we wanted to give users different information:

  • A brief description of the project

  • screenshots of the projects

  • The methods used

  • a reference to the contact person at UID

The short description of project as well as information on methods used will notify users by scrolling with your finger. Three other buttons lead to information on business, contact person and the User Centered Design process. The images can be scrolled and enlarged. Was important to us here also the aesthetic impression of the project maps. For our developers would be a square shape of the cards GEWS to realize on a much faster, but it just seems better.
