To be successful in API initiatives, the business models of Telco APIs and additional offerings for developers need to be aligned with their business models. Thus API and product propositions have to be designed for win-win outcomes.
In his session Francesco Votta will give an overview of how Deutsche Telekom addresses the needs of today’s developers by a strategy of an integrated portfolio of Telco APIs, mash up solutions and developer tools (PaaS, SaaS, IaaS) via its developer ecosystem “Developer Garden”. Francesco highlights the following aspects:
In an ocean of apps, how do you differentiate yours? Cool graphics and sounds are now commonplace and no longer leave the same impression on mobile users. With touch-screens as the UI of choice in mobile devices, tactile feedback is still one of the most overlooked yet valuable aspects of the mobile experience, especially in games. This session will discuss the value of touch design in mobile projects as well as core design principles to follow when implementing mobile tactile effects. Both gaming and non-gaming examples will be provided with hands-on tactile demonstrations for the audience to experience.
Takeaway
Attendees will learn that tactile feedback is a communication channel to be used to improve user experiences. Attendees will see how design and implementation of tactile feedback is easier than they may think.
