Glassmorphism is a unified name for the popular Frosted Glass aesthetic. It has many names depending on the company using it. The effect is based on background blur with transparency, and uses stacked layers to show the depth and context of the interface.
Some of the defining characteristics are :
- Transparency (frosted-glass effect using a Background Blur)
- Multi-layered approach with objects floating in space
- Vivid colors to highlight the blurred transparency
- A subtle, light border on the translucent objects.
