Posted on July 25, 2009July 5, 2021 by namho

In a follow-up to 10 tools for creating wireframes and prototypes I did a quick comparison of some of the features I think are valuable in a wireframe/prototyping tool. Here a brief summary of the categories: Master Templates: As any information architect knows, the home page is different. However most of the subpages have navigation…

Tools for creating wireframes and prototypes (Part 1)

Posted on July 22, 2009July 5, 2021 by namho

I am so glad to see there are so many more applications dedicated to creating wireframes and prototypes. A far better scene from a couple of years ago when there was only Omnigraffle and Visio. Here’s round up of information architecture (IA) and user interface (UI) tools for wireframing and prototyping: Desktop wireframing tools 1….

The Geography of UX: Why web user experience in Korea is not about the searchbox

Posted on July 16, 2009July 5, 2021 by namho

Korean internet culture is unique. Or the internet culture of Northern America is not universal.1 User Experience: my definition If you do an Amazon search for User Experience (UX) you get mostly web design related books. The web has grown so dramatically in the past decade that it is sometimes hard to imagine a time…

UX for Good

Posted on July 15, 2009July 5, 2021 by namho

Just launched a new blog UXforGood.org which tries to bring together my often intersecting interest in user experience (UX) and social change. In quite a visionary statement with far before the birth of the internet, Charles Eames said: Beyond the age of information is the age of choices. It is an understatement to say that…

Life Caching on Mobile Phones

Posted on May 7, 2008July 5, 2021 by namho

At some point in the near future, the term mobile "phone" will be too limiting to describe what we’ll be carrying around in our pockets. Take the iPhone (or any smartphone) as an example.

The Satisfying Touch UI Experience

Posted on December 28, 2007July 5, 2021 by namho

It’s a little embarrassing, but I get a lot of my insights from watching TED presentations. Blame it on the combination of my 2 hour commute, iPod Nano and TED providing video podcasts. In a fascinating presentation by neurologist Vilayanur Ramachandran, he talks about how the brain works with sensory input. What stuck with me…

What Do You Want to Be, Touch UI?

Posted on December 17, 2007July 5, 2021 by namho

Lately I’ve been thinking a lot about touch-based user interfaces for mobile phone for a project I’ve been involved in. Louis Kahn, one of the most influential architects of our time, and subject of an amazing documentary film, once said: “What do you want Brick?” He was alluding to the fact that each material has…
