Avatar Carousel

The Avatar Carousel is part of the Ionic Component Set. This Component is designed to be used over all columns of the app and allows app end-users to swipe left and right in the carousel.

Ideas for Using the Avatar Carousel

Add images to the avatars and text labels underneath to easily connect app users to important information in the app, or to external links.
Use the avatar images to display headshots of company leaders on an about page. Use the text labels for their names. Studio Users can also choose to link to more information on each team member, such as a LinkedIn profile.
Display headshots of session speakers and a keynote presenter. Studio Users can choose to link the headshots to other Pages in the app that provide additional detail on the speaker and their session.
Make sure customers know what your brand offers by showcasing individual products or services through the avatar image and text label. Each avatar can be linked to another Page in the app, providing customers with the ability to learn more about each offering.
