5. Designing for a 10-foot UI is very different. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbartow/5835428673
6. Larger text and fewer words.
7. Make up, down, left, right directions clear. http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/29122_large_amazon_prime_screen_5.jpg
8. How do we know what is a TV?
9. This is HDTV.
10. This is HDTV. 1980 px 1080 px
11. Resolution does not define the optimal experience.
12. Next came responsive web apps. https://twitter.com/freediverx/status/354698695041744896
13. Responsive design for apps is inevitable. http://blog.cloudfour.com/responsive-design-for-apps-part-1/

26. It’s not that we’re technically incapable, but adapting a phone UI to a tablet UI is not so dissimilar from trying to automatically adapt desktop UI to a phone. They are fundamentally different platforms with different usability considerations, and something that makes sense on phones may or may not belong on tablets. —Todd Anglin, Kendo UI http://www.kendoui.com/blogs/teamblog/posts/12-09-11/universal_mobile_apps_with_html5_and_kendo_ui.aspx
27. Sometimes it’s hard to envision a responsive version. http://demos.kendoui.com/web/grid/editing.html
28. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jesuspresley/384080245/ We want people to be productive…
29. and stay in the zone. http://www.flickr.com/photos/raccatography/8038855203
30. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shantellmartin/4543010568 Which seems very different from playing on an iPad.
31. For both the TV…
32. and the desktop web app…
33. input matters much more than screen size.
34. The grid is important to support d-pad interaction. http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/29122_large_amazon_prime_screen_5.jpg

36. And keyboard and mouse are what we envision work is. http://www.flickr.com/photos/royalsapien/2387707860
37. http://www.flickr.com/photos/hellogeri/6154034099/ A few years ago, Jeremy talked about how…
38. http://www.flickr.com/photos/60415054@N00/14301113/ we told ourselves that the web was…

48. http://www.flickr.com/photos/adactio/6153481666/ Then mobile came and made us realize…
49. that it was a consensual hallucination all along. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/303085857/
50. The web never had a fixed canvas. http://www.flickr.com/photos/paulocarrillo/124755065/
51. Even our tools perpetuate the lie.
52. http://www.flickr.com/photos/69797234@N06/7203485148/ We’ve made tremendous progress.
53. But there is another consensual hallucination. http://www.flickr.com/photos/garibaldi/ 303085857/

57. Supports hover and pointer events.
60. Keyboard and touch.
63. Even the iPhone can have a keyboard.
66. Are these laptops or tablets?

71. Luke nailed it. http://static.lukew.com/unified_device_design.png
73. We can no longer make assumptions about input based on screen size or form factor. And we probably never should have.
74. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cblue98/7254221968
75. Input represents a bigger challenge than screen size. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cblue98/7254221968
76. http://www.flickr.com/photos/taedc/9278192929
77. And it is changing more rapidly than ever before. http://www.flickr.com/photos/taedc/9278192929
78. So let’s take a closer look…
79. Let’s start with futuristic input. http://www.flickr.com/photos/jdhancock/3714748769/

83. Siri gets all of the hype… http://www.98ps.com/viewnews-15222.html
84. but both Microsoft and Google have compelling voice input in their products.
88. How should web pages change to support voice control?
91. Google voice search
92. You can use speech recognition too. http://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/demos/speech.html http://www.moreawesomeweb.com/demos/speech_translate.html
94. Gestures?

99. Amazing, but too new to know what, if anything, this technology will mean for the web.
100. Let’s come back from the future and look at something much Dumber. Dumber

119. Back to today’s problems. http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisjagers/4694134078
121. Hover state No hover state
122. Hover state Typing easier for many No hover state Typing often more difficult
123. Higher precision with mouse means smaller targets possible Hover state Less precise than mouse and requires larger touch targets Typing easier for many No hover state Typing often more difficult
124. Higher precision with mouse means smaller targets possible Hover state Less precise than mouse and requires larger touch targets Typing easier for many No hover state Typing often more difficult Right clicking and “power” tools Single and multi-touch gestures

128. I got this. Detect touch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/28096801@N05/5012309802
130. Whatever you may think, it currently isn't possible to reliably detect whether or not the current device has a touchscreen, from within the browser. —Stu Cox, You Can’t Reliably Detect a Touch Screen http://www.stucox.com/blog/you-cant-detect-a-touchscreen/
131. Chrome has entertained idea of enabling touch by default. https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=159527 https://docs.google.com/a/cloudfour.com/presentation/d/1-n1qyzewpagREbzW2zm0wOalq33UhbtbSkWf9mEdly8/ edit#slide=id.gc2d80e5b_171
133. Detect a mouse? Not reliably.
136. Surely we can detect a keyboard?
137. Surely we can detect a keyboard? NOPE

143. http://www.flickr.com/photos/lyza/7382235106 Maybe we need to be more zen about input.
145. After poking at this problem for a few weeks, my conclusion is: every desktop UI should be designed for touch now. When any desktop machine could have a touch interface, we have to proceed as if they all do. —Josh Clark http://globalmoxie.com/blog/desktop-touch-design.shtml
147. What about those who won’t let go of their “power” interfaces? http://www.flickr.com/photos/ecos/4092571213/
148. http://www.flickr.com/photos/scarygami/5689980135/ One option: give them a choice.

156. The key benefit of this approach: You’re designing for user need not for a specific form factor or input.

161. Graph from Chapter 1 of Adaptive Web Design by Aaron Gustafson http://easy-readers.net/books/ adaptive-web-design/ Progressive enhancement contains a value judgment

163. We need to adapt and respond. http://www.flickr.com/photos/cdm/147947664/
