Interactive User Experience (IUX): Going beyond interfaces

Monday, February 22nd, 2010 at 2:06 am   - Posted by Harbinger Systems

We have a new white paper that identifies Interactive User Experience, or IUX as the next frontier in human-computer interaction. IUX combines three types of interactivity, which in turn exploit unique platform capabilities such as direction, touch, orientation, location, movement and proximity. The transition from user interface (UI) to IUX is as revolutionary as the transition from command-line console to GUI three decades ago. The paper explains IUX, the three types of interactivity that enable IUX, and presents examples based on Apple’s iPhone, the pioneer and by far the most successful IUX device.

Bonnier R&D came up with the following great concept for an e-Magazine Reader that offers great colors, animations, user interface and reading experience.

We at Harbinger are passionate about interactivity and user experience, and have built great user experiences like flip-book on desktop, web and iPhone. The advent of a new breed of devices with touch-screen, accelerometer, GPS etc. opens up great opportunities for software product vendors to create wonderful user experiences. After all, we humans have a fascination with intimate interfaces on flat surfaces to do our work on – think of the amount of time we spend on papers, boards, desks and pads. The computer just had it coming!

So, 2010 is touted to be the year of what is variously named as tablets, slates or pads, and Apple is rumored to be announcing an ‘iSlate‘ this January. Do you think 2010 will be the year when the computer finally starts going flat?
