The aim of Material Design is to unify the user experience on the web, mobile and tablet devices. Actually, Angular Material Design is build with the help of AngularJS, Polymer (js library for creating Web Components i.e. custom HTMl elements) and Ionic (an UI framework which is build to create hybrid mobile apps based on Html5). In this way, it's full with Angular, Polymer, and Ionic UI features. It will help you to create a rich, interactive and device oriented UI for your Web app. Still, this is in an early preview stage but it promise a lot of to make a modern device oriented Web app UI.
