Sketchagram- Kommunikationsapplikation för Android Wear

Abstract

This bachelor thesis aims to explore how human digital communication can be simplified, given recent technological advancements. The primary objective is studying how communication can be optimized by developing a messaging application for smartphones and smartwatches. Design guidelines from well-known sources have been followed to create a graphical user interface that can be evaluated. In order to learn more about the interaction with smartwatches user tests have been carried out. Standards have been followed during the implementation to produce a familiar user interface and thereby the best possible product. A messaging application has in light of this been created for smartwatches with an extended application on smartphones. The functionality includes sending drawings and emoticons. Conclusions drawn from the user testing indicate that the applications provide an efficient way of communicating, even though the application for smartwatches has shown to be the greater choice.
