Special Breakout Topic: Just-In-Time Interface Design

Fact: Designing interfaces that continually capture the attention of fickle mobile users is a challenge most designers haven't had to deal with before. Making your app 'sticky' can mean the difference between success and failure. Join us in this special State of Mobile breakout to take a look at proven UX/UI techniques like Progressive Disclosure, Variable Rewards, and more anticipatory techniques that you can infuse into your app designs to focus your users attention by reducing clutter, confusion, and cognitive workload. Even if you're not a mobile designer, these techniques can be carried into your Web or multimedia project as well.
