Abstract

User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design are considered as two of the most important factors in modern mobile app development. Both UI and UX design are very important not only in terms of what mobile users initially see, as well as in how the mobile UI behaves and corresponds to users actions. This paper focuses on the creation of a novel mobile app for museums, named MuseFy, that can provide personalized assistance to users through adaptive UIs. Such features add great value both for users and also for mobile software vendors, since they facilitate user interaction and result in improved user experience and less user frustration.
