Wednesday May 02, 2007 Graphic Artists and Usability Engineering w/Java ME technology
In creating demos for the JavaOne conference, the Java ME group often partners Usability Engineering (UE) with Development Engineering. This is important especially in getting everyday end-users to take notice, not just other techies. In this demo, you see art work from Tim Dunn, one of the talented graphic artists in the Java ME group. Adding a fun and colorful wallpaper with atypically shaped selection widgets (unlike your average boring rectangle buttons), and utilizing Java 2D graphics techniques like alpha-blending (transparency/see-through) and rounded corners on widgets, makes this demo phonetop more appealing than most. See: Java ME technology lets you do this all now on the existing billions of Java ME handsets. Going to JavaOne helps explore all the possibilities that exist on cell phones without waiting for who-knows-how-long for that hypothetical phone that starts with the letter "i". ;-) |
