This is a sample iOS application to represent three levels of item hierarchy:
- sections
- first level items
- CoverFlow/Carousel-like display
- categories
- second level items
- central (selected) item is enlarged
- products
- third level items
- accessed by collapsing sections and categories
This is what the app looks like:
Images represent Mass Effect races.
Image loading is simulated.
This is only an unpolished prototype with several issues/limitations:
- sections and categories are not correctly paginated
- vertical pan gesture to collapse/expand products conflicts with products' scrolling
- one has to collapse/expand by panning outside products
- there is no unlimited scrolling through products
