The new Matrial design provides an expanded UI toolkit for integrating the new design patterns easily in your apps.

The new 3D view gives a more awesome experience to cast real time shadows and to raise the lements off the view hierarchy. Material is purely dynamic and it responds to touch quickly and in a new manner.
