ACCESS Linux Platform includes an advanced graphical user interface engine across the platform, to allow mobile device manufacturers, operators and developers to create innovative, cutting-edge user interfaces with Hollywood-class visual effects coveted by today’s end users. Licensees can create engaging, interactive user experiences with system-wide animations and transitions. Photo realistic 2.5D and 3D visual effects are possible, removing barriers to designers' creativity.
The user interface engine's architecture enables rendering of applications in a single process. This allows not only concurrent handling of applications with different graphics environments, but also their concurrent execution. The resulting freedom of choice in graphical environments, together with easy GPU porting capabilities, gives licensees and operators a way to leverage their application investments. To further support efficient user interface design, the graphical user interface engine incorporates open-source projects as well as graphical hardware acceleration through OpenGL® ES. Applications use a scriptable interface abstracting application logic from the user interface elements, enabling developers to focus on the application design. This allows developers to create multiple, differentiated UIs for an application without changing the application's code.
 Changing script files allows creation of different UI's for an
application, without having to change the application’s logic.
The graphical user interface engine also features an extensive toolkit for licensees, including a full set of standard and advanced user interface elements called actors. Each actor exposes user experience properties and behaviors, offering developers a range of options from making simple modifications, to complete customization of the experience.
