gotta give it to them, this effect is insane

Lorenzo 'kelset' Sciandraeven without accounting for the a11y angle, i genuinely can't see this working well on older/less powerful devices :/
like yeah it looks super cool but damn it has to be more process intensive

rachelI think it would be more performant! Currently they use a massive blur, which works by sampling the image in a lot of places and averaging them. Lens distortion works by sampling the texture in just one place (offset by more complex math, but the offsets will stay constant so we can precompute them)
1 7rachelIt looks like the colors on the very edge come from a physically based chromatic aberration, which is pretty cool, so they likely sample the texture in three places, not one, but still, that's going to be a lot better than a blur

Julien FThat’s just a shader, I don’t see anything here that would be heavy on the GPU

mitten droid ☎️🕹️+It depends if it uses a performance core or not.
And it depends how the frequency scaling is set up.
But obviously it's super dope.
People who run their phones at 120 HZ will do this just for vibes.
1 4Julien FHuh ? It obviously runs on the GPU, not on CPU cores
1 3mitten droid ☎️🕹️+i mean they both do frequency scaling depending on load.
my bad for mixing up the architecture.
Ya so.. some gpu components can turn off;
not all shader pipelines have to use power,
so it's functionally similar to perf/vs eco cores.

Ivan ČurićIt's absolutely pointless and has no place in a user interface.
It amounts to a concept done by an eager design student that got featured on Behance or Codrops.
Like, good job I guess?

Borek LupoměskýIt's cool, but what's the point of this in an user interface?

they really went with a side project to showcase 'oh look how pretty it looks!?'

Charley Sheets [he/him]Insane? Absolutely.
Useful? …
Sure is pretty.

alex 🍂i feel like someone at apple made a cool shader and was like ugh this is so cool let's just use it for everything

totallynotsethYeah it looks cool but it impacts usability and readability for no good reason

bite meHuh that's actually pretty slick, I didn't realize it was doing all the distortion and color fringing from the few clips I saw

Andrew Allen 🎇i miss when designers would explain light theory and then make a shadow you could barely see

nic 🔹I trust apple to fix all the hard to read issues and make the really cool design work. They have managed this multiple times in the past

Nikooooooh that does look nice!! if i was on iOS this will probably annoy me over time tho... surely this can be disabled? right?

Louis GrassetI wonder how many time are Xiaomi & related going to lose to replicate this beauty

maelstromThe color aberration effect tho... 🤤
Nyxwhen will Android and GNOME steal this?
moldy rye grainNo it’s shaders
fegoIt's not just a "glass" effect, but more of a lens.
mitten droid ☎️🕹️+Fr. If you can do frosted glass by reading the pixels within a slightly bigger bounding box behind it, then why not refraction + chromatic abrasion.
SoulOnFirePJAny group chats running the new iOS out there? Just want to test out the new features…
