Being one of the top mobile app development companies, in this blog we shall explain to you a little about the upcoming trends in User experience any top mobile app development company should be able to deliver.

1. Gesture Control

Gesture Control saves a lot of screen space.It gives a smooth and quicker flow especially when your mobile app screen is doing some kind of customizing task. UI with buttons require more and more screens and is a rather bulky process compared to a mobile app screen with several elements which is integrated with motion gesture. When added in bulk of several devices, it unknowingly adds to a great power saving advantage too.

2. Facial Recognition

Keeping Cloud computing and IOT into the picture Facial Recognition is now a security feature that can be implemented into many verticals. Facial identity incorporated as data along with other pointers of identity shall enable the quickest version of security in various verticals. Amazon has started testing this out in its automated stores where security cameras were integrated it into the POS system which in turn concludes all transactional procedures from the perspective of security. This is proving to be a contributing factor in Beacon apps.

Smart Facial recognition technology is also a security tool that is being tested in formal places like offices and other exclusive zones so as to fetch out other subtle forms of identity like facebook and linkedin profiles. These are quick and small security formalities which are possible in the first place because of smart facial recognition features.

3. Voice Assistants and AI

While all its complexity and creativity lie in software, in terms of User Experience it might free your hands and eyes for most of the time. Voice assistants at the heart of it are just elements that free your phones screen for better things not just one message. When combined with IoT and other cloud computing features, your virtual voice assistant is now virtually an AI capable of extracting volumes of information and the same time carrying out empirical calculations to give your logical suggestions. This way suggestions and better decision making is also a part of the user experience now.

4. Emerging Hardware

Voice assistants and anything aiding to hand free functionality of a smart phone would not be possible without hardware add-ons. Smartwatches, headsets and smart glasses are inclusions that shall make your smartphones screen reserved for better purposes like photography, videos, info graphics, shopping etc and not just viewing random offers you are not interested in. Wearable’s like immersive goggles are expected to create a new wave of art and several 3D production studios are counting on that.

5. Faster Transactions

This isn’t just restricted to individual apps hosting individual wallet apps. Smarter integrations and tightly encrypted payment gateways have become a much common adapted practice for making your transactions. Besides voluntary transactions, payment gateways and corresponding systems are being tested for security purposes and managing drills within the city like parking ballots etc so as to eliminate the need for a personnel to do the job. Independent Payment gateways capable of delivering a smoother and quicker experience are being employed into individually owned entities like

• Music Festivals
• Shopping Malls
• Night Clubs
• Travel Packages
• Exhibitions

The Latest payment gateway of Apple iPhoneX uses this feature and lets you use your Face as an ID to complete your payment without any effort whatsoever on the part of the user.

While we have all heard the terms User Experience(UX) and User Interface(UI), we often see them written together like UI/UX. The two terms are most commonly used interchangeably. While it can be used interchangeably to a certain extent, they make up two different parts of the design. UX is a rather analytical and technical domain of the designing process, while UI is more about the graphic design and the overall look of the product. While on the surface, the definition just mentioned holds true, on a deeper inspection, you would see that it is a lot more complex than that. Let’s understand the difference between the two:

In analogous terms:
When the walls are to made, the first thing we do is lay down the bricks. Once the bricks are laid down, we apply plaster to it and then paint it or add wallpapers. The bricks form the skeletal structure of the wall while the paint and wallpapers define how the wall would look like. Now if we look at it with the context of UI and UX, the bricks make up the UX. They define how the walls would be like. The paint and the wallpapers, on the other hand, make up the UI. They define how the walls would look like.

In technical terms:
UX enhances customer satisfaction and loyalty by enhancing usability and ease of use that the user would face while interacting with the product. UI, on the other hand, takes care of what the product looks and feels like. On a first glance, it is the UI that attracts users to the products. But it is the UX that decides how useful the UI would be. It is the role of the UX designers to design user flows and wireframes which are then prototyped and tested. Once the tests are passed, it is the role of the UI designers to make them appealing. While the UI focuses on connecting with the users on an emotional level, the UX focuses on helping the users to accomplish various tasks within the product.

Broadly, the role of UI/UX designers includes:

For UI designers-

• Form (including buttons, graphic design, etc)
• Content (including text, reports, documents, etc)
• Behavior (including responses to clicks, drags, typing, etc)

For UX designers-

• Utility (they have to make sure that the product solves users’ problems, and gives useful content)
• Usability (they have to ensure the convenience, clarity and logical soundness of the product)
• Accessibility (they have to make sure that the product is convenient for use by different categories of the users)
• Desirability (they have to make sure that the product looks attractive and solves problems; this is the part where audience retention comes in)

While UI and UX are closely linked, as we have already seen, they both have major differences. Even with these differences, the roles are interchangeable since the ultimate goal is to retain the audience by giving them an experience that they would want to come back for. And that is difficult to do in isolation. Hence they are both really important.
