Abstract

In the current work is stressed the importance of the classical notions of design in mobile computing. With this purpose is analyzed the bidirectional relationship between divine proportion, ergonomy and industrial design. Besides, the main reasons are presented why it is necessary to count on a communicability expert in order to get high quality products and services with low costs. The importance of visualization of graphic computing in the era of the expansion of communicability with small-size interactive screens is also made apparent. Finally, the results of heuristic assessment carried out with adult and inexperienced users in the use of interactive systems belonging to the mobile computing set are presented.
