In this project we will look into bringing finger touch and gestures to the web framework in order to accelerate easy web usage with mobile devices, with the goal of mobile devices becoming the primary web access method instead of laptops.</font></p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">This project is about: </font> </p><ul> <li><font size="2" face="Arial">To create innovative web representation platform </font></li> <li><font size="2" face="Arial">Multi-touch, accelerometer (rotation, shaking) and haptics based interaction mechanisms </font></li> <li><font size="2" face="Arial">Enriching the mobile web content with 2.5D graphics with hardware accelerated rendering </font></li> <li><font size="2" face="Arial">New JavaScript interaction APIs, Haptics CSS extensions</font></li></ul></div></blockquote><div>Have you looked at the WebKit team's proposal for 2.5D graphics and transitions?</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://webkit.org/specs/CSSVisualEffects/CSSTransforms.html">http://webkit.org/specs/CSSVisualEffects/CSSTransforms.html</a></div><div><a href="http://webkit.org/specs/CSSVisualEffects/CSSTransitions.html">http://webkit.org/specs/CSSVisualEffects/CSSTransitions.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>These are now on track to become W3C standards and are already implemented on iPhone (2D portions only on desktop WebKit currently).</div><div><br></div><div>Also, have you looked at how touch and accelerometer events work on Safari on iPhone?</div><div><br></div><div>I am excited to see contributions from Nokia, but we would want to make sure that advanced WebKit features remain consistent in API between platforms.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Maciej</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div><ul> <br> </ul><p><font size="2" face="Arial">High Level Architecture: (disclaimer: this is only high level architecture and some aspects might change during the project)</font></p><p><font face="Arial" size="2" color="#000000"> <<architecture.jpg>> </font> </p><p><font size="2" face="Arial">What we have already up and running:</font> <br><font size="2" face="Arial">- Prototype implementation OpenGL ES 1.1 accelerated QT-WebKit running on ARM based Internet Tablet device (such as N810), reference implementations of the draft JS API's are somewhat working (no haptics yet tough).
