Project 4: Windows Phone video analysis

by samscaife on Saturday 28 January 2012

I'm going to do the same thing I did with the Spotify video for the Windows Phone one found here. This one is an interview with Phil Cross and Will Coleman.


  • Students are the target audience
  • sell the product
  • multiple platforms functionality is expected
  • "companion" experiences
  • multiple screen/platform concept that runs across any windows products
  • Xbox companion app
  • already existing features that they want to show off
  • they would really like something doing
  • UX 
  • unified experiences between platforms
  • how do you tell a Story
  • want something creative
  • Wonder and new ideas
  • practical or artistic
  • really forward thinking idea
  • tech backbone
  • user journey
  • coherence between screens
    • how do you transitions
    • different options
    • tailored experience
  •  Fun
  • ubelly.com is suggested for inspiration
  • windows phone framework is metro
  • channel 9 kinect sdk video inspiration
  • High quality finish
  • should be achievable 
  • they want the concept to be able to come a reality
    • Its should not be a specific thing but a process? 

They are really looking for a result which heavily considers user experience. This makes me think that is you take a general issue or experience then apply multiple screens to it you would be able to apply consider. I also think interface and interaction design will be really important considerations in this brief.

It looks as though they want a collaboration between creatives and developers so that the idea is grounded in reality. So while they way that you can create a future idea I don't think they are looking for something which is a long way off of becoming a reality.
