Modern user interface design has evolved dramatically in the last few years, with animation-rich interactions becoming the norm. On mobile devices, where screen space is at a premium and users expect ease of use, animations can greatly increase an application's appeal, fluidity, and even its usability, as they guide the user's attention to explain the mental models at work. Google's latest Material Design guidelines for Android place a heavy emphasis on the use of animations for this reason.
However, animations are difficult to visualize before they are implemented, and they can be time-consuming to implement for novice developers or non-programmers. The Intel® Animation Interpolator helps designers and developers prototype Android user interface animations. Intel Animation Interpolator animates a single graphical block on an Android device using one of these types of animation:
1. Translation: moves the block horizontally.
2. Opacity: fades the block in/out.
3. Scale: scales the block up/down on both the vertical and horizontal axes.
4. Rotation: Rotates the block 270 degrees about its centre, alternating between clockwise and counter clockwise directions.
5. The user can modify three parameters for each type of animation:
a. The duration of the animation (in milliseconds).
b. The interpolation to apply. The interpolation defines how the value of the property being animated (horizontal position, opacity, scale, or rotation) changes over time. See below for more details.
c. The factor for the animation (may not be available for some types of animation). This modifies how the animation changes over its duration.
6. The interpolation itself is the key parameter, as this governs how the block appears over time: its position, opacity, scale or rotation, depending on the type of animation selected.
It seems that Android & Intel have given a new direction to the field of UI designing. I am sure as a user you can expect solutions that will be smart , innovative and something that will surely help to capture the
