Make Your Users Boogie
Design Gestures Like a Choreographer




Dave Malouf         @daveixd           #uxlxBoogie
I’m a split personality
Analytical            Emotional
  Time                     Beauty
  Abstraction              Aesthetics
  Metaphor                 Engagement
                           Story




Dave Malouf     @daveixd                #uxlxBoogie
Motion
Where it connects
(for me)




Dave Malouf         @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Gestures have been around



Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Elevator
handle




Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
And then
buttons




Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Other controls, too ...




Dave Malouf   @daveixd    #uxlxBoogie
Feedback
The full range of
motion informs
someone as to their
probable outcome.



Dave Malouf           @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Dance & Percussion share an
aesthetic of sound and motion




Dave Malouf   @daveixd    #uxlxBoogie
Stops vs.
Slides
Need to balance this
like consistency &
contrast in visual
design



Dave Malouf            @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Audience                 Performer




Dave Malouf   @daveixd          #uxlxBoogie
The Pose
never as good in
reality as we imagine
it in our head




Dave Malouf             @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Spinner
Outcome is purely known visually, but the motion and
audio makes the experience!
Dave Malouf                  @daveixd                  #uxlxBoogie
Playing musical instruments
Balances all these pieces
Dave Malouf          @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Just so easy
Strumming is low
precision.




Dave Malouf        @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Piano is precision
harder to learn; posture, yes; pose? not so much
Dave Malouf          @daveixd            #uxlxBoogie
The front man
9 times out of ten, the
front man is playing a
guitar if anything.




Dave Malouf           @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Keytar?
All the rockin’ melody
of a guitar, and
percussive precision
of a keyboard.



Dave Malouf              @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Can this ever work?
I mean besides the Gorilla arm issue.
Dave Malouf          @daveixd           #uxlxBoogie
It’s not just about the
movement ...
The surfaces we are moving on or against has a
lot to do with the aesthetics of the gestures.




Dave Malouf         @daveixd            #uxlxBoogie
Stops have their place
Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
A few examples
So let’s look at an app w/ arguably great appeal
due to its interesting use of novel gestures.




Dave Malouf          @daveixd             #uxlxBoogie
Pull to spring
Causes a get command
Dave Malouf       @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Swipe to reveal
It’s the new “right-click”
Dave Malouf             @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Taps & Swipes
Tap causes reveals of secondary content; swipes then dismiss
it. Easy to find and now includes the “reset” gesture again.
Dave Malouf               @daveixd                 #uxlxBoogie
2-finger pull
Reveals conversation without loss of context:
2 fingers is arguably not intuitive, hard to discover.
Dave Malouf                     @daveixd                #uxlxBoogie
Reverse pinch reveal
Try it! It’s REALLY hard to do consistently.
Dave Malouf            @daveixd                #uxlxBoogie
So how are we going to do
this stuff?
It really is about going
back to basic design.

  Experience
  Externalize
  Envision
  Evaluate
  Execute

Dave Malouf            @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Gotta own it ...
... minimum at least 1 touch-based device,
hopefully 1 that you are designing for.
Dave Malouf          @daveixd            #uxlxBoogie
Sketch!
Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Video Prototype
Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Sketch!
and sketch some more.
Dave Malouf        @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Act it out!
Paper prototypes, rock!
Dave Malouf          @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Re-visualize
Dave Malouf    @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Experience
Again
Dave Malouf   @daveixd   #uxlxBoogie
Be sure to bring the love
the emotion, the fun, the expressiveness,
responsiveness, etc.?
Dave Malouf          @daveixd               #uxlxBoogie
Thanx!
