Abstract
Computer-implemented systems, methods and apparatus are provided for rendering different scenes of an application. An application framework is provided that includes a scene controller and a scene cache pre-fetch module that stores at least some of the different scenes as cached scenes. When the scene controller receives a request for a new scene (e.g., to change the current active scene) it can determine whether that new scene is stored at the scene cache pre-fetch module. If so, the scene controller can load the cached scene directly from the scene cache pre-fetch module as a new active scene.
