Little World: Making Mobile Phones More People-Centric
“Determined to create a more people-centric phone, the team explored alternate ways of grouping, messaging and adding friends to your contacts. The resulting project “Little world” creates a more intuitive virtual world from which you can manage friends and contacts as opposed to the generic and alphabetically ordered lists we are used to today. “We don’t think of our friends alphabetically, so why should we try and manage them alphabetically? Little World allows you to group people in a natural, analog way, placing your work colleagues in a different area to your football mates, and using your phone in a more natural, subtle and playful way.” says Kevin Cannon, one of the designers behind Little World.”
