Touch Design for Mobile Interfaces

by Steven Hoober

There are over two billion portable touchscreen devices in use today, and hundreds of millions more installed in cars and kiosks. Sales of traditional mouse-and-keyboard computers have been falling for years, replaced by mobile phones and tablets.

Conventional computers now sport touchscreens and otherwise blur the lines between device types – and between mobile and desktop operating systems. Mobile and touch are the new computing normal, but there is a lot of myth, rumor, error, bias, and out-of-date information on how portable touchscreens are used.

Touch Design for Mobile Interfaces presents and shares real information on hardware, people, interactions, and environments. Steven Hoober has studied how people really touch and hold phones and tablets, as well as seeing it firsthand over twenty years designing products for mobile phones, tablets, kiosks, and computers.

As well as Steven’s in-depth research, the book includes tips, tricks, trends, tendencies, guidelines, and heuristics you can apply to your own designs immediately.

I read this book on my Kindle and I'm so glad I did! There's lots of great nuggets of information in here to highlight. If you're a new or experienced designer, this book will give you some clarification on the things you already knew, as well as some research-based insights to learn from. 5/5

More or less what you might expect from the title. For me there was not enough examples of bad and good practices, that's why my rating is 4 stars.
