Xiaomi introduced a new tablet in 2021
When MiPad 5 arrived in 2021, our project team need to adjust the current product to accommodate tablet connectivity features.
01 / The consistency challenge on PC
Now that users can access both their tablet and mobile from the PC, it is important to keep the two user flows and interface as consistent as possible to avoid confusion and extraneous learning. It is challenging because the top priority features on tablet and mobile are different.
How do we display the different features of phone and tablet with minimum inconsistency?
>> Tablet and mobile phone have both shared and unique features, but users access them through one interface
Explore different layout options and evaluate gains and trade-offs
>> I presented at 2 design reviews and 1 tech review to nail down the final layout solution
02 / The window resizing challenge on tablet
Unlike the PC desktop, tablet has much more limited screen size. We need to allow users to easily move and resize the phone projection to enable collaboration in and outside the window.
How can users intuitively move, resize, open and dismiss the phone projection on tablet?
>> I explored a couple of interaction ideas and rapid tested with Protopie before deciding on the final solution above
