Stanford CS193P - Designing for iPad — Presentation Transcript

Designing for iPad Evan Doll

Who am I? • Evan Doll • Former Apple employee • 3 years on iPhone • Co-taught CS193P

Who am I? • Not an Apple employee • Waiting in line outside the Apple Store just like you

Today • How iPad changes everything • Where does it ﬁt? • Designing great apps

Remember I am not an Apple employee!

First Things First • I don’t know any iPad secrets • No SDK discussion today

How iPad Changes Everything

Obligatory photo:

“Make the screen ﬁve inches by eight inches, and you’ll rule the world.” - Alan Kay http://bit.ly/dAXgsQ

News Flash: Computers are still too complicated

Those who design & build computers are most likely to forget this

The Gulf of Knowledge

Hackers Bloggers Tech columnists You

Keep this in mind when evaluating new technology

What’s wrong with the status quo?

Files

“On Mac OS X, the /System/Library/ folder... contains over 90,000 items, not one of which a typical user should ever need to see or touch.” - John Gruber http://daringﬁreball.net/2009/12/the_tablet

My mom has ~100 ﬁles on her desktop

Mouse

Geeks still argue about 1-button vs. 2-button mice

http://bit.ly/b5q9mK

The mouse is a bug, not a feature

Your Stanford C.S. Degree

To your family, this still means “tech support”

Not just a generation gap

Opportunity to fundamentally rethink computing

Where does it ﬁt?

Laptops and iPhones are often antisocial

iPad is more inviting and shareable

Multi-user interactions

Presenter + Viewer

Multiplayer games

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/poodleface/482570681/

Combine iPhones + iPad?

Multiple Touches

Room for two (or more) hands

http://www.ﬂickr.com/photos/bekahstargazing/378678206/

Designing Great Apps

(My) Three Rules

1. It’s not an iPhone 2. Don’t break the ﬂow 3. Make it feel real

1. It’s not an iPhone

“It’s just a big iPod touch!” - Someone on the Internet

Hardware? Maybe. Software? NO!

Don’t just recompile your iPhone app

Apps that do this will not be well-received

2. Don’t break the ﬂow

“One view onscreen” no longer the only way

Use split views

Don’t abuse it

Use popovers for modal content

Full-screen transitions can be disorienting on a large display

3. Make it feel real

Direct manipulation

Tactile, physical interface design

Postage Classics ConvertBot

Realistic sound effects

Animations!

Not just eye candy

Help user to build a mental map of your app

Some speciﬁc tips:

Read the Human Interface Guidelines

Work with a great designer

4x the pixels = 4x the ugly

Performance is a BIG DEAL

Test on a real iPad for performance and usability

Build a paper iPad http://mashable.com/2010/02/08/paper-ipad/

Reading List • http://ﬂyosity.com/ipad/the-ipad- is-for-everyone-but-us.php • http://joehewitt.com/post/ipad/ • http://www.tomloverro.com/ 2010/02/06/ipad-analysis- history-repeats-itself/

In summary...

New platforms don’t come along often

We are living in exciting times

The possibilities are endless

Go forth & develop!

Thanks! @edog1203

iPadUser86 I really love this innovative tablet-pc from Apple. It really changed my evenings, to chill on my couch and surf around the web. It´s also great when you travel and get the right ipad tarif, so you can really use it everywhere you want. I also made an website about the iPad, if you wan´t to visit, you are welcome :)

Also very nice presentation ;)

Lora Gi , Student at Univ Great thoughts... iPad is the ultimate consumer device with a lot of potential...it’s not ’worked out’ yet, there are some misses but i it will be better and better with the future versions and with some great application. like Sketchbook, iKorg....this is just the beginning:)
There is great guide for iPad App developers on http://ipadappsplus.com/ipad-apps/how-to-create-ipad-apps/
And It has an amazing battery, 10+ hours, breathless 1 year ago

Matt Mcloving , iPadmaster at ipadnine.com Love this quote...
“Make the screen ﬁve inches by eight inches, and you’ll rule the world.” - Alan Kay

Bookmarked as one of my favourites.

Grissom Huang , Online Coupon Master at Tophotdeal.com I think iPad really change some people’s lives but still there are some other people don’t like it because its multiple touch feature and user interface are too fashion. Some people prefer to use keyboard to improve their speed and think type on touch screen is crazy. I think iPad need take some time to let more people know it and like it.
