Abstract
The techniques disclosed herein provide coordinated display transitions of renderings of content and people that are moved between display areas of a user interface to bring emphasis to salient activity of a teleconference session. For example, as renderings of people or content shift from one section of a UI to another, the movement is performed in a guiding manner that enables participants of a teleconference session to follow the relevant action of a session. The movement is also performed in a manner that is natural, fluid, and delightful to users. The coordination of moving elements may emphasize the movement of a first rendering of people or content and deemphasize other types of activity. In addition, one or more graphical displays can involve the use of an easing curve and parallax animation techniques to emphasize or deemphasize select renderings of people or content.
