Reach out and Touch the animations

Overall, I am totally blown away by the experience, especially the amazing execution.  The menu options all have subtle animation and transitions which really make the user want to use the touch screen more.  Its really true that cutting edge design, beautiful UX and an great technical delivery has given us a new leader in the in-store ordering experience.  Using motion to create emotion with the users and providing an overwhelming bevvy of options, I can see this driving McDonalds growth in new and exciting ways.

Come on McDonalds, lets get this experience into a UK store pretty sharpish.
