Google licks details of 'Material 3 Expressive', its Android UI design overhaul

The new overhaul is also expected to accelerate the user functions because the UI elements are identified four times faster.

One of the examples used by the blog was to change the placement and color of the “Send” button in their “Googail” application for composing and sending emails. This made it easier for users to identify the button four times faster.

The search engine company said that it had carried out research for up to three years, and this was its most researched user interface so far. These methods included eye tracking, in which the areas that were observed to the users were considered. Use of surveys and focus groups to examine emotional reactions to different designs; Experiments for collecting feelings and preferences; And finally to see how quickly the participants could understand and use an interface.

The company turned emotional benchmarks like “playful”, “energetic”, “creative”, “friendly” and “positive” to compare designs.

The Open Source and Design tools of the user interface make it open for experimenting users, but Google warned its users to concentrate on clarity and user -friendliness, as a strong minority of users who tested them preferred quieter and reserved designs.
