What’s liquid glass?

Liquid Glass is a new digital metamaterial introduced by Apple, designed to enhance the look and feel of software across Apple's ecosystem. It represents a significant evolution in Apple's design language, building on past interfaces like Aqua from Mac OS X and the real-time blurs of iOS 7. Liquid Glass is characterized by its ability to dynamically bend and shape light, creating an organic, fluid interaction experience that feels more like a lightweight liquid. It adapts to different contexts and environments, providing a unified design language across all platforms. This material is translucent, behaves like real glass, and its color adapts based on the content and environment, enhancing navigation and controls with clarity and vitality. Liquid Glass is designed to be an interactive layer, floating above content and providing main controls, making the user experience more intuitive and immersive.
