QR code usage is on the rise, with the most recent stats showing over 14 million Americans scanned a QR code this June alone.
Free smartphone QR apps combined with the curiosity of not always knowing what lies behind the code is helping to increase the number of views. To continue this trend we will need [...]
Apple have recently come under fire for appearing to track the location of iPhones, leading to valid privacy issues being raised. They assure us that any data gathered is purely for the benefit of speeding up apps that require location data in order to function, reducing this time from minutes to seconds.
The number of [...]
Word Lens does. It is an augmented reality app, and quite a clever one too. It is a translation tool, but one that is quite different from the likes of Google Translate.
Forget typing anything. Point your iPhone camera at some foreign text (Spanish is the only language currently available), and the image on the screen [...]
iPad 2. Will it also make the tea?
There are a lot of rumours circulating regarding the latest version of Apple’s iPad. Will it have a super-hi-res screen? Will it allow video-calling? Will it be ridiculously thin while maintaining a decent battery life?… Will you buy one?
One rumour suggests Apple may preview the new iPad 2 [...]
What’s in store for 2011 for us web designers? The first thing to consider is the huge array of devices that content can be viewed on. The screen size of the user’s PC used to be the only consideration (oh, how I miss the simplicity of those days sometimes!), but now we also have tablets, [...]
Talk about animated graphics on the web, and most people will assume you mean Flash. It’s true that the vast majority of animation on the web is Flash-based, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

More versatile and more user-driven; that’s where the web is heading. The focus is no longer on the website, it’s on the users themselves. It’s not about what you’ve got to say, it’s all about what they want to know. And they don’t want to wait for it. They want it now and on whatever device they happen to be using – iPhones, iPads, you name it. What’s more, people expect websites to work perfectly on these devices. A few years ago, they didn’t. Now they do.
And it’s not only about written content – video rules. In 2009, YouTube racked up over 1 billion views per day. In 2010, that doubled to 2 billion, over 250 times the number it was getting six years ago. By 2013, Cisco believe 90% of web traffic will be video.
So what now for enterprise? The majority are following the consumer trend and gearing up to deliver video on the web in the shape of product demos and presentations. We’ll see more video, with higher production values and higher-bandwidth. There’ll be more interactivity too, with branching video content that gives users seamless access to the information they need.
That’s what is coming up. What’s your plan?
