Split Screen (Snap View) in Windows Phone

[teohabunal]

Hi!

I just wanna share my concept on the split-screen (snap view) feature on windows phone. I took the functionality from Windows 8.1, and it seems like a pretty neat feature to add to the windows phone as well.

This can be accessed in the app switcher by tapping-and-holding the second app:


With the second app on hand, you can either position it on top or bottom of the current app:


You can drag the split-screen to adjust the size of the apps, very similar to that found in the desktop OS:


The options bar at the bottom will be that of the last interacted app. And the apps can be dismissed/separated in the app switcher also.

And oh, here is my concept video on how it might work:

All comments are welcome.

Apps should be responsive. Probably this is a little better (portrait and landscape):

Good concept.

On a bigger display like the 1520's, there's almost no reason why a snap view implementation wouldn't be useful

Yes, this seems better. Thanks!

And btw, the split-screen slider supposedly follows the color accent of the phone. Otherwise, the images are great :wink:

Yes, I forgot to change the color. Good job :wink:
