Mobile Application What makes a good mobile app, and how can I create my own? Mobile Application What makes a good mobile app, and how can I create my own? Mobile applications are quickly replacing websites as a common way that learning designers now reach their learners. Mobile apps benefit from the same opportunities provided by websites but also allow the Visuals in Learning Design 1 learning designer to utilize various smartphone capabilities that are not standard on desktop and laptop computers, such as location services, gyroscopes, cameras, facial recognition, augmented reality, and so forth. This means that learning designers can approach apps similar to how they approach websites, but also that apps may have many potential opportunities that are not available with websites alone. In terms of ARC, a mobile application's emphasis will vary greatly by its purpose, but at a basic level, apps may be thought of as being similar to websites in that their primary function is to appeal to the learner and to get them to stay on the app to learn. This means that apps should strive to be clear, sleek, and inviting and should also make it clear to the learner where they are and where they need to go to keep learning Visuals in Learning Design 2 For this project, you will create a visual mockup for an iOS/Android app of your choice for a smartphone or tablet. You are encouraged to use existing User Interface Design Kits (e.g., iOS Design Kit, Google Material Design, Bootstrap, jQuery UI Mobile, Publica) along with Adobe Illustrator to complete this project.

9 Apple and Nokia: The Transformation from Products to Services In the mid- to late 2000s, Nokia flourished as the world’s dominant mobile phone – and mobile phone operating software – producer. Founded in 1871 originally as a rubber boots manufacturer, by 2007 Nokia produced more than half of all mobile phones sold on the planet, and its Symbian mobile operating system commanded a 65.6 percent global market share. 1 But within half a decade, Nokia would falter and be surpassed in the smartphone market not only by Apple’s revolu- tionary iPhone but also by competitors including Google and Samsung. And in September 2013, Nokia would sell its mobile phone business to Microsoft for $7 billion. 2 Apple literally came out of nowhere – it sold exactly zero mobile phones before the year 2007 (the year Nokia held more than half of the global market share) – but by the first quarter of 2013, Apple had captured almost 40 percent of the US smartphone market and over 50 percent of the operating profit in the global handset industry.3 In fiscal year 2013, Apple would sell five times more smart- phones than Nokia: 150 million iPhones compared to Nokia’s sales of 30 million Lumia Windows phones. 4 In contrast to Nokia, Apple real- ized it wasn’t just about the mobile device itself, it was about leveraging software to create a platform for developing compelling mobile experi- ences – including not just telephony but also music, movies, applica- tions, and computing – and then building a business model that allows partners to make money alongside the company (e.g., Apple’s iTunes and AppStore) and, in so doing, perpetuate a virtuous cycle of making the iPhone attractive to customers over multiple life cycles through ever-ex- panding feature sets.

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING UNIVERSITY OF PORTO UI Design for Wearable Devices Vitor Mota Master in Informatics and Computing Engineering Supervised by: Miguel Pimenta Monteiro (Assistant professor) Pedro Rocha (GlinttHS) January 2015 2 Abstract Smartwatches have been around for some time now (Ranger 2015), but 2015 is the year this wearable technology will finally get its boom in terms of popularity and growth. Technology giants like Apple, Google and Samsung are betting on their own-line of products such as the Apple Watch, Android Wear and Gear respectively (Apple Inc 2015a; Google Inc 2015b; SAMSUNG 2015). All of these devices are computation capable electronics with very small touch capacitive screens, limited number of hardware buttons with varying screen sizes and even shapes. Our research focused mainly on these constraints and how to successfully develop user friendly GUI’s for such small screens. The goal was to develop a model with guidelines to help developers provide easy to use and user friendly applications at a visual and interaction level to end users. To successfully achieve this, we first took a deep look at the available technology within these devices, including the framework each of the major platforms provide and the underlying hardware capabilities such as sensors like GPS, gyroscope, the use of the touch screen or microphone for user input and whether the shape of the device (round or squared) can have different effects on the design and usability. We also analyzed the impact of placement and arrangement of interface components having in mind that this technology, since it is a wearable watch, can be worn on both wrists and therefore will be used with only one hand that may obscure a different portion of the interface depending on which wrist the user uses it (Chandra and Raghunath 2000).

Author: Kehinde Omotola Adebayo 30.04.2020 3 Abstract As wearable technology is becoming increasingly popular amongst consumers and projected to continue to increase in popularity they become probable significant source of digital evidence. One category of wearable technology is smart watches and they provide capabilities to receive instant messaging, SMS, email notifications, answering of calls, internet browsing, fitness tracking etc. which can be a great source of digital artefacts. The aim of this thesis is to analyze Samsung Gear S3 Frontier and Fitbit Versa Smartwatches, after which we present findings alongside the limitations encountered. Our result shows that we can recover significant artefacts from the Samsung Gear S3 Frontier, also more data can be recovered from Samsung Gear S3 Frontier than the accompanying mobile phone. We recovered significant data that can serve as digital evidence, we also provided a mapping that would enable investigators and forensic examiners work faster as they are shown where to look for information in the course of an investigation. We also presented the result of investigating Fitbit Versa significant artefacts like Heart rate, sleep, exercise and personal data like age, weight and height of the user of the device, this shows this device contains artefacts that might prove useful for forensic investigators and examiners.
