Your expert guide to building sophisticated user experiences

The faces of consumer and commercial goods are changing.

Manufacturers are challenged to meet user expectations with slick-looking GUIs on inexpensive hardware, while maintaining good margins.

This e-book looks at this next wave in product design, the challenges that come from creating devices that are at once sexy and cheap, and ways to turn your low-end products into ROI superstars.

Connecting functionality and design

Today's buyer preferences are determined by the quality of the user experience. Therefore, designers and developers that work together are better positioned to create products that are both attractive and functional, whether it's a consumer wearable or industrial kitchen oven.

Planning for scale

Users want the same experience across their devices and manufacturers want to spend less effort doing so. Choosing hardware that's within similar product families and a GUI tool that scales across them (or even between vendors) ensures a longer life for your brand.
