Glossary term used only by this SC

motion animation

addition of steps between conditions to create the illusion of movement or to give a sense of a smooth transition

EXAMPLE For example, an element which moves into place or changes size while appearing is considered to be animated. An element which appears instantly without transitioning is not using animation. Motion animation does not include changes of color, blurring, or opacity which do not change the perceived size, shape, or position of the element.

For WCAG2ICT consideration:

• Are there any notes needed or considerations for closed functionality?
• Is there any guidance or additional examples needed for the term 'motion animation'?
