Simplifying complex matters visually offers easier understanding of content and its relations. Visual approach is an intuitive way to study and learn new things. Sharing thoughts and problems with others create new innovations. In the era of touch displays visually presented content require intuitive interfaces for ultimate user experience.
User experience is about delightful time using a service or product. Difference between a positive or negative experience can be defined as the difference between visit to a hair saloon or dentist. User interface is about accomplising a goal of a task in simplified manner. This is like math class and creative arts class. Both have their supporters. However on day to day tasks people prefer experiences that do not require constant focus. Experience is like going with positive mind flow.
These two should not be mixed. After all it is all about experience. Apple Inc. does well in this space. Their experience processes are well thought. iPhone is a prime example of such product. However, there is always room for enhancement.
Mobile user interfaces on a variety of screen sizes and widely fragmented handset market create challenging environment for mobile service offering. Device Atlas is an informative tool that helps out in optimising content to fit hundreds of wireless devices.
