- HDR refers to a luminance range brighter than SDR, requiring careful integration into primarily SDR user interfaces.
- Simultaneous contrast causes colors to appear differently based on surrounding colors, affecting perception of SDR and HDR content.
- HDR content can make SDR content appear dimmer due to the eye adapting to higher luminance levels.
- Design considerations for HDR include controlling HDR brightness to maintain SDR content quality and text legibility.
- Android 15 introduces controls for HDR headroom, allowing applications to adjust HDR brightness based on UI context.
- Other platforms like web and Apple offer coarse controls for managing HDR and SDR content interactions.
- Developers should thoughtfully integrate HDR, considering its impact on UI and using appropriate headroom controls.
