Mobile phone transfer Animation

 

There are live animations for switching between the interfaces of the smartphone platform, and more software vendors are taking a fancy to this business opportunity. Many special effects have been made in the live animations to increase the product's interest. But does a live animation only show special effects and fun? In fact, not all of them are. The transition animation hides the hierarchical relationship between menu switches and serves as a prompt.
Among the many smartphone platforms, the most diverse types of live animation on the Android platform are used. The following uses the Android platform as an example to describe it.
Same-level switching transfer Animation:
1. Default style animation [iPhone also adopts this method, which is also the most common]

This transfer animation makes the user feel that all interfaces are on a long piece of paper and we slide it to browse.

2. Sector style Animation

This type of transition animation gives users the impression that the page is fan-type or circular.

3. cube animation [New Transfer animation in HTC sense3.0]

This transfer animation makes the user feel that all interfaces are like one side of a cube.

These three types of scenes have a common point. Although the presentation methods are different, they give users the feeling that they are a whole, and the relationships between all interfaces are integral.

Hierarchical switching transfer Animation:
The most common is "Open" and "close. When a user clicks an application or program, the animation starts from scratch.

When a user exits an application or program, the animation is "closed" and the animation is displayed from scratch.

The last example shows the differences between the scene animations displayed in different operations on the same interface and their feelings to users.
1. On the SMS details page, press "back" to see the transition animation moving left or right of the page. The previous page is displayed.

This gives the user the feeling that I am still in this program and have not "go out ".

2. On the SMS details page, press "home" to see the transition animation from scratch.

This gives the user the feeling that I have "closed" the program and returned to the "home" interface.

Not only for Android, but for the WP7 platform, two different operations are performed on the same interface to display different live animations.

The feedback presented by different passing animations is different. The interaction designer must consider the hierarchical relationship between interfaces when designing dynamic passing animations, avoid error information from the design of the Transition animation.
