James,
From the examples that have been given, I would say that the set of
controls is typically very low complexity. The other trend is that
this pattern is used when the content takes up all of the available
screen space: video, slides, photos, etc.
Best,
Jack

While it is a nice transition which supports a rapidly shifting
context (control content to consume content) - what we lose is
glancability of controls. That is, if the set of controls/actions
associated with content is sufficiently complex, the user may forget
what is available while busy consuming content.
