Creating New Interaction with the iPhone, Daniel Heffernan, Appschoolcatherinewall
This presentation will introduce the power of the iPhone and demonstrate how easy it is to use this power to create exciting and truly innovative applications. Examples of impressive use of interaction technology with the iPhone will be demonstrated, and yet untapped potential discussed.
If you’re new to mobile usability testing, fear not. It is not as hard as you might think but there are some key differences to testing a traditional website in a lab that you need to be aware of.
These slides are from a presentation by Tania Lang at the Designing for Mobility Conference in Melbourne on March 1, 2013. The talk outlined 10 things about mobile testing tools, technologies and methods that we have learnt from testing everything from a Quit smoking app with a woman whilst breastfeeding her 5 week old on her sofa, to testing a mobile car insurance website in a lab.
This talk is for anyone who wants to conduct usability testing on their mobile site or app and will focus on methods, tools and technologies. It draws on experiences and lessons learnt from testing mobile sites and apps over the last year including a public transport journey planner, a mobile insurance website and a mobile app to help pregnant women quit smoking.

Mobile apps and push notifications are often touted as the golden ticket to engage news consumers with timely and relevant content. For cash-strapped small and medium-sized news organizations a custom-built mobile app is a pipe dream, at best. In response to this problem, RJI Residential Fellow Christopher Guess presented about his ongoing project “Push” on Thursday, Aug. 31, at noon in Fred W. Smith Forum.
Push is an open-source, natively built, mobile news app for iOS and Android that any publication can take for free and easily customize for their own organization. With this tool push notifications, detailed analytics, offline-caching and many other features are available to local newsrooms in ways that only the big names could play with before.

2. PRE-REPORTING RULES OF THUMB CAPTURING VIDEO
- Verify correct credentials for situation - Always shoot horizontally and always use a tripod
- Tell subject that you are a reporter (Mobile tools - Shoot in application
are not as obvious) - Look for natural lighting or set up lights
- Make sure you are familiar with the applications - Use the stick mic to direct your audio capturing
you are planning on using, i.e. if an account is - In the field, scan the area for a chest-high, flat
needed to use the application location for mini tripod
- Charge your mobile device, as well as an external
battery or bring mobile charger
- Clear phone’s memory from previous story before
CAPTURING AUDIO
going out in the field - Use an XLR microphone if you are able.
- Turn on Airplane Mode to prevent network inter- - Use an app that shows metering while capturing
ference - Editing on a phone is more difficult and less pre- Editing audio in the 1st Video application.
- Always use an external microphone – never use cise than editing on a computer, so remember to
the built-in microphone give yourself dead space before and after each VO
- Evaluate amount of light for assignment and sound bite EDITING TIPS AND TRICKS
- If it is going to be dark, bring an external light - If you can, move your source to a quiet place - Do not record clips longer than a minute. They are
difficult to edit on the phone and may freeze your
CAPTURING PHOTOS program.
- Save frequently, application may shut down
- Shoot to the Camera Roll in iPhone, then upload to
- Plug in to charge while editing; the battery drains
application
quickly while editing video and audio files
- Stay away from low-light situations
- Avoid trimming early; Do all editing on timeline
- Use a macro lens if you’re taking pictures of some-
- Save footage from your device onto your computer
thing extremely close up. Avoid lenses otherwise
for future reference/usage and archiving.
(unless you have a telescopic lens).
- Edit for quickness and efficiency, not for perfection
- Prepare space on your phone, by removing and
archiving everything after each assignment. If you’re
taking a lot of pictures, you may clutter up your
phone if you have other things saved.
- Avoid shooting in filters. Rather, take a picture, and
then apply a filter to the original.
- Do not use a mobile phone camera to shoot fast
motion, because the shutter speed is too slow to
capture it.
- Don’t zoom on your phone’s camera, this causes
noise in your picture. Move closer to the source if
possible.
- Don’t use the internal flash on your phone if you
can help it. Instead, invest in an external flash, they
result in far better quality of pictures.
Credentials still necessary in mobile journalism. Trimming in the editing interface for 1st Video.
