Adaptive UI concepts

- [Instructor] So, here are the kind of questions we have to ask ourselves. What happens when we create an app for a tablet and someone wants to use our app on a phone? Or what if they want to use our app on something huge, like a Surface Hub? What happens to the fonts? What happens to the layout of the screen? Are we wasting screen real estate just to show content? Is everything getting squished? What happens when a user has special accessibility needs and wants to bump the font size up 400 or 500%? These are the kind of things that we need to consider. We need to make sure that we create an app that can properly function on a wide variety of devices with, really, an infinite number of form factors and orientations. Because, remember, there may be a device that's released into the market tomorrow that we haven't considered. We need to design our app so that it can just handle it regardless of the device and form factor.
