Since its official launch in January 2020, the "ColorOS Co-Creator Planet" project has provided hundreds of opportunities for Co-creators who love ColorOS to experience new versions and features first, and has built a channel for users to exchange experiences and send feedback between users and engineers. Now, with the arrival of the new year, the 2024 ColorOS Co-Creator Planet User Exchange Conference was officially opened on April 13, and this event invited 50 users, as well as ColorOS Design Director Chen Xi, Product Director Zhao Yang, User Experience and Solution Director Ma Xin, Find Series Product Director Zhou Yibao and other product managers from various departments to participate.

In this event, co-creators from all over the country were able to have face-to-face in-depth conversations with ColorOS product managers to discuss the future development of the system, and this is also the first offline communication event between the ColorOS team and users in 2024. Chen Xi, design director of ColorOS, said at the meeting, "A good product must have the participation of users, and let users participate in the product in the form of a co-creator planet, so that progress can be sustained and changes can be seen." At the same time, Chen Xi also carried out detailed functional interpretation and co-creation for key issues such as personalization, fluency, and AI large model of the ColorOS system.

Especially in terms of system dynamics and fluency, the product manager also gave a new explanation: all along, one of the keys to building a smooth system in ColorOS is to reproduce the sensory feedback of the real physical world in the mobile phone, we believe that fluency is not limited to basic performance, but also needs to be from the sensory function level, so that users can feel the real feedback in the virtual world, so that the smooth experience of the system is not only intuitive, but also controllable and comfortable.

Therefore, he said that in the next smooth upgrade of animations, ColorOS will bring scientific calculations and reasonable exit animation curves, as well as more natural and coherent interrupting animations. For example, in high-frequency scenarios such as application swiping exit, bottom swiping up, and multi-task interface swiping, the new version of ColorOS can allow users to get a smoother, smoother and more coherent control experience, and the interruption animation effect will become faster and more timely, truly achieving the "click and use" of the application.

In addition, in the notification control center, lock screen, smart sidebar and other places, the new version of ColorOS has also added rich animations. For example, when you pull down the notification bar, the latest ColorOS will have a rebound animation effect, bringing a more intuitive interactive experience with real physics laws, and at the same time, the new wallpaper will have a natural zoom transition effect when unlocking into the app or desktop, so that you can get a silky and comfortable smooth experience from the moment you light up the screen.

In general, through co-creation with users, the ColorOS team can better understand the user's ideas, and the user can better feedback their own needs, so that every technological innovation of ColorOS can achieve the same frequency with the user, as Chen Xi said, "Only by understanding the user's needs and listening carefully to the user's opinions, can we go further and further in product design and user experience." I believe that the new version of the system will be able to bring a smoother, smarter and easier to use experience to the majority of users, so let's wait and see!
