Microinteractions in Mobile and Wearable Computing
Markus Aleksy, Jonas Brönmark, Shakeel Mahate · 2016
Microinteractions provide small details that may have a big impact on user experience of a (software) product. There are many examples of successful implementation of microinteractions in traditional software products, such as cut & paste functionality. However, the increasing popularity of mobile and wearable computing devices increases its application area and provides new opportunities to discover new microinteractions that simplify the usage of mobile and wearable devices. In this paper, we describe the concept of microinteractions and some already existing microinteractions in the domain of mobile and wearable computing. Additionally, we present how some of the presented microinteractions can be used in a new context. Finally, we present and discuss our own microinteractions addressing the development of future mobile and wearable computing applications.
