TAT Home: New Android Interface that is Looking Pretty Sweet

3d TAT Music WidgetSwedish based company TAT has pushed the bar a little further with a new Android interface. TAT reportedly worked with Google on the original UI that we all have come to know and love. The new interface is a gesture-powered 3D bliss of a Home screen for Android. New 3D widgets with gesture-based navigation and is said to work with all current Market offerings of widgets and apps.

Powered by TAT’s own Cascades Mobile UI rendering engine, gestures and response times look seamless in the demo. All widgets look to stay in a compact mode and smooth expand to full screen as needed.

More info with demo video after the jump.

With just a flick of a thumb, the widget fan lets you easily view and jump to any pane, including the application launcher. TAT claims that in just a couple days your muscle memory will have the UI ingrained in your brain and navigation will be “completely seamless.” TAT widgets can be 3D, take “multi-sensory input,” be surrounded by “particles,” or pretty much anything a developer can think of.

Outside of the new eye candy, there are a couple more neat treats. One I personally find appealing is the new faves block that works like Chrome’s new tab page. This auto-selects your most recent contacts and lets you pin and remove contacts to customize the selection. You can even set the alarm like a safe lock with the new clock widget. Check the demo video for some more awesome goodness. Let us know what you think in the comments.

    FYI, the demo is running on a HTC Hero, so no need for a super high end phone to run this awesome piece of code.

      Do you know something I don’t, or are you just saying that because of the black notification area in vid?

    The problem with Tat, is that they’ve shown tons of amazing interfaces, but they never come out.
    Just search youtube for TAT and you’ll see. They’re all about teasing us :)

    Yeah, I have seen a few of those, but this particular one happens to be announced… And its the only one I can find on their site that is branded with their name and not labeled concept.

    They do have a form to enter in a beta test for this particular one. So we’ll see how it ends up…

    • just some dude

      im afraid no 3d acceleration in the G1, not even in my old MyTouch. I think it will be Nexus 1 and on.

    • siirial

      I agree with dude. I think at this point, the G1 has what it will ever have. If you want more, it’s time to upgrade. I have to say, for an entry device, it has had a good, strong long life.


      • just some dude

        The G1 was pretty cool for its time, I was not sure if this “Android” thing was gonna work out. But i knew i wanted the first Google/Android device. Glad i picked on up. The G1 the one that started everything. I should unroot it and bring it back to its factory defaults, mite be a collectors item one day.
