Netbook UI Design
10 Weeks, 3 People, Roles on Research and GUI Design
In this sponsored project, we, the IxD students, cooprated with the industrial design students to help our client, Freescale, to develop the new concept of netbook in emerging market. Differed from the form development of ID team, our focus was to
evolve the initial framework and vision for a new graphical user interface to run on top of an existing operating system (like Linux) that can take advantage of an ARM CPU chipset on something akin to a netbook or a smartbook. Moreover, we explored the tween market (age 11-14) in order to find out more opportunities for the future.
