Remnants of a Disappearing UI
Because the primary input method of the iPad is a single piece of multitouch glass, developers have incredible flexibility to design unique user interfaces. It’s hard to appreciate the variety of UIs though, since turning the screen off removes virtually all evidence of them. To spotlight these differences, I looked at the only fragments that remain from using an app: fingerprints.It’s interesting how each app requires you to interact with it in a quite different way. You’re often changing the way you hold the iPad based on what app you’re using. On the Mac you’ve got a mouse to get to any point on the screen, on the iPhone you can reach any part of the screen with your thumb. But on the iPad you can’t.
