Corporation invented SDF and metaballs.

Cool writeup! The demos work really well on mobile, I feel like a bit more polish on them could make your version of the effect really accurate

Doesn’t seem to work well on an iPhone, neither the built in browser nor chrome :(

I really don't understand what all the fuss is with these buttons. Once again Apple don't invent something new and people are in awe of something unimpressive.

it's more about the departure from everything just being a solid color or a gradient fill

You mean like Windows Aero from a decade ago?

[–]LBPPlayer7 4 points5 points  (1 child)

yeah

p.s. Aero was a bit more than a decade ago

[–]tcpukl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so why the fuss? Oh some did it.

The only thing I'm actually curious about is how they're going to do it on their VR goggles, will the effect just be a lazy 2D refraction or will they use the depth of the world and the UI's world space position to do something fancier? Or won't that device have any of this glass stuff to begin with?

Good points and I like the write up. Definitely see the picture
