mouse over effects Smartphones have done their mouse over microinteractions very well. The interactions are subtle as microinteractions should aim to be. Links are underlined and when the user hovers the mouse over the link, the underline moves out slightly to reveal that o the link is clickable o they are about to click that link. The designer takes it to the next level by adding in an element to the left which consists of a dynamic icon that changes from a folder to a form as the user mouses over the button. It not only indicates that it’s clickable but also takes what might have been a boring button and turned it into a micro moment of delight. BELOW ARE SOME EXPERIENCES OR HOW THE USER FELT AFTER INTERACTING WITH A SMARTPHONE . (ARE THEY PLEASUBLE, EASY OR OBVIOUS) Expanding and shrinking images - scroll effect The images in this scrolling microinteraction example offer up an interesting take on scrolling. When the user scrolls down through the page, the images on the page expand and gradually shrink when the page stops moving again. All this dynamic movement happens according to the speed at which the user is scrolling through the page.We like this microinteraction because it shows how even just a simple change can vastly improve the user experience on a site with a lot of content where an interaction such as scrolling would be important. It’s one of many microinteractions that can add up and make the app seem all that more engaging. They boost usability and intuitiveness Additionally, microinteractions can boost usability, if done right. This is because they area way of providing the user with constant feedback, by telling them both what the system is doing and letting them know when their actions have been successfully registered by the website or app. They make it more human In an effort to make our apps and devices, well, less scary we design and decorate software. For some reason, the human mind perceives animated interactions as less threatening.Probably because they are cute but oh well, whatever floats the boat. They make users comeback bKeep in mind that, a well designed microinteraction can and will do the marketing for you. There are just some microinteractions that attract the user. It could be as small as a trash bin animation like WhatsApp uses for deleted voice recordings or something bigger.Twitter recently came up with a microinteraction that displays different animations when a tweet is liked. All they had to do was link it to hashtags. Companies and communities started their own animated hashtags and some people ended up downloading Twitter just to seethe trick.
