Material Motion - Blending Design and Animation for Engaging User Experiences

Explore the fusion of Material Design and motion in this 44-minute conference talk from Big Android BBQ 2015. Discover how to implement "Goop" to guide users through your app, maintaining their attention on crucial elements and transitions by simulating fluid, gel-like motion. Learn about meaningful and guiding interactions, natural motion through interpolation, and the importance of subtlety in animations. Delve into topics such as linear interpolation in Android, guiding animations, providing context, and building up UI elements. Gain insights on creating easy animations, including fading, color changing, and animated vector drawables. Understand the benefits of fluid motion, transformative motion, and literally fluid motion through gooey effects. Master simple simulations, canvas animations, and fluid simulations to create engaging user experiences. Presented by Nick, a UI/UX expert from RetailMeNot, this talk offers valuable knowledge for developers looking to enhance their app's visual appeal and user engagement.
