Demo of Clutter from Maemo 5
“One of the most significant additions in Maemo 5 is the Clutter library, which facilitates rapid development of rich graphical user interfaces. Support for Clutter on top of OpenGL ES 2.0 will enable developers to completely redefine the Maemo user experience. Clutter provides a scene-graph system and frame-based animation engine for displaying and manipulating graphical elements. It can be used to implement rich visual effects and sophisticated interactive user interfaces that stretch beyond the boundaries of conventional widget toolkits.”
“The extreme versatility of Clutter makes it highly conducive to innovative user interface design, but also creates some challenges. There are no constraints to ensure basic consistency between Clutter-based user interfaces. Nokia will have to provide some clearly-defined guidelines so that third-party developers will be able to make Clutter user interfaces that don’t detract from the visual cohesion of the platform.”
