Description
Over the last decade, Qt Quick has become one of the best technologies for
developing hardware-accelerated 2D "fluid" user interfaces, and is on track to
eventually replace conventional desktop-style widget-based GUIs in many
applications. In Qt 6 another possibility is approaching adolescence: you can
use the same declarative QML language to create 3D applications too. In this
talk we'll explore some of the possibilities: 2D applications for working with
3D content (like CAD, 3D design and 3D printing applications), 3D applications
which also contain 2D user interfaces mapped onto the surfaces of the objects
(games and simulations), and fully immersive 3D user interfaces. We hope that
with all this power available via such an easy language as QML, the community
can begin to develop entirely new categories of applications.
Authors' Bio
Shawn Rutledge has been working with Qt since 2004, joined the company in 2011,
became Qt Quick maintainer along the way, and continues to focus mainly on
completing the picture with input event handling at various levels of the
stack. Also a few other things here and there: Qt PDF, Controls, item
views, platform plugins, etc.
