I have no idea what it's called, but it does offer a responsive, fluid transition between its expanded and collapsed states. I rather like it. If you want a name for it, I can suggest: - an in-situ fluid x-axis expander with a column-deforming y-axis expanding reveal - a front-focused baseline locked two-step carousel - a two-axis accordion
More importantly, what would you call it? Let's hear your suggestion. Then there is the matter of its usability. Well, it does a few things well and hints at how to do them quite decently. The staggered fades aren't to my taste, but I'm just one user. So, why not ask "What does Sony need the front page to do?" and try to figure out how well thingamajig does that job. What do *you* think? ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
