Mobile App Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apps are taking over traditional online portals as a means for customers and clients to interact with your services.<\/p>\n

They’re more accessible: a neater, self-contained little package of interactivity that blows browsers out of the blue.<\/p>\n

Consumers love them, and the world of business is only just beginning to recognize their value.<\/p>\n

From boardrooms to huddle rooms<\/a>, workplaces are changing; just like the way we interact, communicate, collaborate and play are evolving.<\/p>\n

Adults aged 25 and overuse their mobile device over 260 times a day; while those aged between 15 and 24 interact with a piece of smart technology 387 times a day.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a lot of fiddling – and it demonstrates that we are addicted to our mobile devices.<\/p>\n

And as that addiction is showing no sign of diminishing, now is the best time for the industry to embrace apps.<\/p>\n

So, keep up.<\/p>\n

Read on for the essential interactive technology developments for mobile app<\/a> design for 2019.<\/p>\n

The Internet of Things<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The IoT is nothing new.<\/p>\n

Let’s face it – the Internet of Things has been in the common vernacular for the past decade, more or less.<\/p>\n

But:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s yet to be fully embraced in the context of app technology.<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with the concept of the Internet of Things, it’s just a blanket expression for the plethora of connectable that operate around the home – or – more aptly for our purposes – within the industry.<\/p>\n

Alexa: IoT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Google: IoT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hey Siri: IoT.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basically, any single hub – such as Alexa – that controls the operation of something physical around you is the Internet of Things.<\/p>\n

And apps that embrace the IoT are useful – and, therefore, buy-in from consumers and businesses are growing.<\/p>\n

According to a prediction from Statista<\/a>, there will be over 75 billion IoT-connected devices in use by 2025, while the volume of smartphone users is predicted to reach 2.5 billion in 2019.<\/p>\n

So:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apps that control physical hardware around the home, office or factory are primed for development.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get a live video and stock feed from the factory floor through an interactive display that assesses workforce productivity while keeping managers in different offices connected and providing live data from their mobile devices: all accessible through a single app-based portal that controls everything.<\/p>\n

It’s all possible. And it’s what 2019 is getting itself ready for.<\/p>\n

Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Google launched the AMP project<\/a> in 2016 and now uses it as an SEO metric to establish a website’s value to the searcher.<\/p>\n

But SEO ranking isn’t the metric you should be considering here. Your priority in Augmented Reality App Development<\/a> should be in creating an attractive, user-friendly UI that just works.<\/p>\n

And quickly.<\/p>\n

For example:<\/p>\n

If the funding stream driving your app relies on advertising that links to external web pages, then you should be looking for an almost imperceptible cross-over from app to AAMP-optimized web page.<\/p>\n

A fluid user-experience (UX) is essential in modern app technology – so if you’re looking for the customer- or brand-loyalty, AMP is the technology to employ.<\/p>\n

Augmented Reality<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s true to say that AR hasn\u2019t really taken off in the way<\/a> it was foreseen. For every Pokemon Go, there’s a Pigeon Panic! and a Lightstream Racer.<\/p>\n

No – we hadn\u2019t heard of them either.<\/p>\n

It seems that AR hasn’t revolutionized gaming quite as it was initially expected.<\/p>\n

But where AR does have significant potential as emerging technology is in its inventory and asset-management possibilities.<\/p>\n

AR-driven by GPS or Wifi location – can:<\/p>\n
