This is a presentation I did for Refresh Portland. It is a very high level look at the User Experience Design in the Mobile Web.
This will be a crash course in mobile user experience design, are you ready? We will look at how the mobile context has evolved over the years and where it is headed. We’ll explore the differences between the web and the mobile web, why these differences are important, what the key user experience principals are for the mobile web ...oh yeah, and there will be plenty of examples for you to sink your teeth into. I will give you the information you need to design an optimal user experience for the mobile web as well as what decisions you will need to make along the way.

human movement which predicts the time
required to rapidly move to a target area,
as a function of the distance to the target
and the size of the target.”
