So this article talks about the differences of augmented and virtual reality. I personally prefer augmented reality as it incorporates what is actually in front of us and what is not. I also prefer it is as more people have access to it. For example, those who have a smartphone can download pokeman go and play a game that uses augmented reality.  Another reason as to why I prefer is that it something that we can use on a mobile platform which means we can create something using it today. However this does not mean I don't like VR. In fact I think VR will be better than augmented reality due to the fact that it is much more immersive. Overall, I'm can't wait for both and hope they both become huge.

Bootstrap Studio seems to have a lot of potential. It's user interface is simplistic and removes the need for hard coding. The software makes website design a swift process without the hassle. However, the demo is very limiting in terms of assets and restricting in design. I found it difficult to fulfill my idea and had to resort to using the templates.

A Case Study (?) of a JavaScript Problem

By -
This week at work, I ran into a very basic problem that needed to be solved with JavaScript. It involved lots of trial and error, but after 3 hours or so, I finally solved it. I wrote an article on my personal blog detailing my thought processes and research trail, in case anyone is interested:  http://emilyserven.net/2016/09/30/js-problem.html (I also included a bunch of footnotes, so if any jargon is confusing, it should hopefully be explained in those.)

UI Animations Medium Post

v https://uxplanet.org/3-key-uses-for-animation-in-mobile-ui-design-4d7c482dd84b#.3p0xvb9y      So over the past few weeks I've been doing a lot of reading on animations and uses for animation on web.  To me being able to make a website or app feel like it's alive is a great feeling. It adds so much to the interactivity. By simply adding small animations the page suddenly feels alive. It can also make the user experience better overall.      An example is the use of animated loading screens or progress indicators. Using a creative progress indicator reduces the user perception of time. Animations can also make the sit or app seem better than it really is.  Another really useful time to use animations is when drawing the users attention. A good example of this is in notifications.  By animating the notification you can draw the users attention more easily. Overall animations should be used in most websites and can add a lot of value to the user and the creator.
