Right UI for All Hands

In my last post, I argued that problem with big smartphone screens is not in their size, but rather in unsuitable user interfaces. I also promised that I will reveal my special tool for UI calibration.

Tool will collect your biometric data and then present optimal UI layout.

Cheap Plastic Phones

I remember story from my youth about super-sturdy Russian car called "Volga". Its chassis was so stiff that you could hit a tree without denting it. The downside was that all the energy of the crash would transfer to you body and you would die.

Car manufacturers are smarter these days; in addition to all other safety features, cars have so-called crumple zones, which absorb the energy of the crash. I saw more than one car with completely crushed front part and untouched cabin. This lesson has yet to be learned by phone users and manufacturers.
