Every wondered why there are some overlapped content on the Windows Phone 7 Series Screens ?? Well WMPU has uncovered an article by LukeW, Chief Design Architect at Yahoo! Inc, explains why Windows Phone 7 has those overlapped content on the screen. Because it is a touch-based device, the Windows Phone 7 Series uses a Natural User Interface (NUI) paradigm that turns actual content into interface controls. NUIs frequently need to let people know what elements are interactive. NUIs should encourage exploration and give people “permission” to touch things. Teasing people is one way of encouraging interactivity and exploration.
The Windows Phone also makes use of Tease and Transitions with the user interface. Each of the main application screens include a tease of the content on the next screen over (as seen in the video above). This hint of additional content gives people a reason to move to the next screen and explore.Transitions are also used in the Windows Phone user interface to provide feedback when an action has been successfully completed. You can see this approach applied to comments and status updates

The iPhone uses a small dot towards the lower end of the screen to notify the users of multiple pages. This new Tease NUI feels much better IMHO. Do you guys agree ? If you dont plz do let us know why …
