Today, Apple has released uHear, a slick application in the Medical category conceived by Unitron Hearing. The application, for which we designed the user interface, is a scientifically-accurate hearing evaluation and testing tool, with three different tests based on standard tests used by audiologists.
This was one of the coolest projects we’ve worked on recently as developing for the iPhone / iPod touch hardware is a very engaging process. For one thing, the specific restrictions around UI standards, screen size, resolution and performance issues all provided parameters that informed the final design. That, and the tactile experience of using the iPhone / iPod touch made us really want to focus on larger, button-driven interactions.
