In this topic, we discuss what you should consider in your interaction design (or what you don't, if the platform looks after it for you), and provide guidance, recommendations, and suggestions for building Windows applications that are enjoyable to use regardless of device, input type, or user abilities and preferences.īottom line, your application should be as intuitive and easy to use in the 2-foot environment as it is in the 10-foot environment (and vice versa).
