UIEtips article: Playful Data – 3 Inspiring Interactive Web Sites

I just got off the phone (well, Skype, but it’s the same thing, sort of) with Steve Mulder. We were recording an interview, talking about his experiences with developing rich interactive applications at Molecular.

What really struck me about his experience was how much we can now do within a browser. Once folks figured out ways to eliminate page refreshes, a world opened up to allow for truly immersive experiences.

In this week’s article for our email newsletter, UIEtips, I explore some of these experiences and what they can bring to a business environment. A few weeks ago, I looked at what the New York Times did for delivering news in an interactive format. In this article, we’ll explore what other companies can do for their customers.

Are you using highly interactive designs to create an immersive experience for your users? If so, what challenges have you run into?

Steve Mulder, Jeremy Keith, Andrew DeVigal, and Steve Duenes will be presenting their experiences with developing highly interactive experiences as part of our UIE Web App Summit. I highly suggest you check out the program and consider joining us. (I just got back from visiting Coronado, where the event will take place. What an amazing resort! It’s going to be great fun.)
