OpenedHand have dropped another love bomb on the GTK+/GNOME embedded scene — Clutter, a simple scenegraph/canvas API for doing pimped-out, full screen, kiosk/television style user interfaces with GTK+, GStreamer and GL. Take a look at the examples included in the tarball, and their snazzy Opt presentation tool. It’s early days, but Clutter is already looking very sweet.

Dave pulls back the bathrobe on one of his fascinating projects.
