Environmental factors in mobile device design
Are there any existing research on what types of environmental factors impact on mobile device design that gives some strategies or information on how to make design decisions based on mobile device usage in uncontrolled environmental conditions?
A common example is the implementation of dark & light themes introduced to mobile application interfaces to cater for strong light conditions (e.g. full sunlight) or dim light (e.g. night time). Another example might be the use of mobile devices in very cold or dusty conditions (and how it affects touchscreen sensitivity).
Even just a general summary of environmental factors in outdoor environments that impact on user interface design would be a good starting point.
