Smartphone Whiteboard Designs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

UX Whiteboards are Designed to Help Designers Work Better

— August 13, 2017 — Tech
UX Whiteboards knows that despite the rise of touchscreens, sometimes you just need a physical representation to bridge the gap between idea and understanding. To that end the company has created a line of whiteboards in the shape of Android and iOS devices. The goal is for product designers to accurately be able to sketch out a mobile website or app without having to try and guess the dimensions of a smartphone.

UX Whiteboards may seem like a niche product but the reality is that many product teams, and companies in general, still use whiteboards to convey idea. The company's whiteboards come in both vinyl and magnetic and sell for $89 each. Currently UX Whiteboards only offers "support" for Android and iOS but the company says more options are coming soon.
Trend Themes
1. Physical Representation in Design - The rising popularity of physical representation tools, such as UX Whiteboards' smartphone-shaped whiteboards, is an opportunity for innovation in the design industry.
2. Niche Whiteboard Market - The demand for specialized whiteboards, like UX Whiteboards' Android and iOS-shaped ones, presents an untapped market for manufacturers and distributors.
3. Enhancing Communication in Product Design - The use of physical whiteboards, like UX Whiteboards' vinyl and magnetic options, offers a disruptive solution for improving communication and collaboration in product design teams.
Industry Implications
1. Design - The design industry can leverage the trend of physical representation tools, like UX Whiteboards, to create innovative products and improve the design process.
2. Manufacturing - Manufacturers can capitalize on the demand for niche whiteboards, such as UX Whiteboards' smartphone-shaped ones, by offering diverse options and customization services.
3. Technology - The technology industry can explore opportunities to incorporate physical representation tools, like UX Whiteboards, in the development of user interfaces and digital products.
