Mr Tappy is a kit for filming mobile phones, tablet computers and handheld devices from the user's point of view.



Originally designed as a filming rig for iPad usability testing, Mr Tappy lets you capture or share user interaction with mobile devices during user experience research, product demonstrations or classroom presentations.

Mr Tappy works with mobile devices like iphone, ipad, ipod, smart phones, ebook readers, touch screen and buttons.

Mr. Tappy is a snip to set up and use - Simply attach your webcam and any type of mobile device, set the camera height and angle, then sit back to watch the interaction unfold.

Mr Tappy provides an adjustable and lightweight camera mount allowing natural mobile device interaction to be captured from the user's perspective. Film what happens on screen and the user's fingertips as they interact with the device.

This universal camera mount works well with devices with touch screens, buttons, keypads, gestures, multi-touch and stylus use and is a particular favourite of iPad and smartphone app developers.

About Mr Tappy:
____________________

Mr Tappy came from humble beginnings - in fact, he originally was made from plastic cut with a hacksaw and bent over a household toaster. This solution worked fine as a usability filming rig a few years back when 'a phone was a phone' …but when touch screens and tablet devices arrived, a more flexible and stable solution was required.

Through a series of prototypes and testing with some of Europe's largest technology design and research agencies, Mr Tappy was born.

Mr Tappy was designed by Nick Bowmast, a UX researcher helping companies develop better products and services through customer insights. Often these products involve mobile devices and the insights come from watching them use products.
