The vision and reimagination is to unite forces and bring back Java UI on bare-metal embedded devices, mobile and desktop. In the lasts months and years, I have sadly seen companies revoking their commitment and trust in Java in regards to Human Machine Interface (HMI)<\/em> or User Interface (UI)<\/em> applications.<\/p>\n

This is due to Oracle having essentially dropped the ‘Java Desktop’ … etc. (long debate, adding OpenJFX)<\/em><\/p>\n

However, Java as a language with a fully managed memory model is still part of the
\n(politically)<\/em> supported recommended languages from NIST <\/a>(controversy<\/a> and debated<\/a> in the C++<\/a> community<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n

In this regard, I created my initial blog entry<\/a> regarding immersive UI + 3D scene<\/a> on the desktop, mobile and on bare-metal embedded systems<\/em> without a windowing system.<\/p>\n

Graph UI<\/em> utilizes Resolution Independent NURBS Curves Rendering using Programmable Graphics Pipeline<\/a>, i.e. rendering curves directly on the GPU, resolution independent <\/strong>[ paper<\/a>, slides<\/a> ]. This method allows us to to have an ultimate fast font and UI rendering engine, suitable for all devices and applications. No CPU based curve nor font pre-rendering (matching a target resolution) is required.<\/p>\n

And here is a little screen recording with audio …<\/p>\n

This is included in JogAmp’s feature and todo list<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DRM\/GBM as support for JOGL + NEWT<\/a> has been added, hence we are capable of running on a bare metal device without a windowing system. Here is Xerxes demonstrating this feature on a Raspberry Pi4<\/a>:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Also of interest might be a related discussion within a OpenJFX bug entry regarding re-merging JOGL w\/ OpenJFX<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Bottom line, it might help the Java community to reimagine and revision the UI across devices<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Perhaps we can join efforts and also allow this endeavor to help sustaining my JogAmp work in this regard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
