There's untapped magic in the gap between gadgets. Multi-screen design is a preoccupying problem as we try to fit our content into many different screens. But as devices proliferate, the opportunity is less about designing individual screens but designing interactions BETWEEN them—often without using a screen at all.
Mobile designer and "Tapworthy" author Josh Clark explains how to create web and app experiences that share control among multiple devices. Exchange realtime info between your TV and phone. Grab content from thin air and throw it into your tablet. Build a video-conferencing app in your browser with nothing but JavaScript. Flick content from one device to another. Most crucially: move interaction off the screen entirely to connect with devices, objects and appliances through only your mere proximity. It's all about designing not only for screens but for sensors, and the technology is already here in our pockets, handbags, and living rooms. Learn how to use it right now.
