it's based on this french idiom:
(vendre la peau de l'ours avant de l'avoir tué)

in a nutshell: I suspect this announce to be spam because:
1/ googlelize the OP name: nothing, except this post. For such a 
framework, the guy cannot land from nowhere.
2/ he has posted in te wrong fourm section.
3/ no screenshot, no links.
4/ the concept is quite abstruse, not self-explanatory, no tech 
details (e.g open-gl for this, xml for that...
5/ it's too providential.

Though i might be wrong.
