Developing the Next Generation of Embedded GUIs Web Seminar

Overview

LCD displays and touch screens are finding their way into an ever wider range of embedded products, from remote controls to refrigerators. In today’s competitive consumer markets, such products may succeed or fail on the strength of their graphical user interface: visual appeal and out-of-box usability are critical. But getting the GUI right – and doing it on budget and on time – presents a major challenge to developers, because every change to your application code introduces more risk. Inflexion UI eliminates this problem, by enabling you to deliver much more compelling GUI designs without even touching your application code.

What You Will Learn

  • How Inflexion UI lets you create, test and refine eye-catching new GUI designs within a drag and drop environment, without any coding or scripting.
  • How Inflexion UI enables you to incorporate advanced 3D and animation effects into your designs in seconds, for deployment even on low end hardware.
  • How to integrate Inflexion UI with your own application code.
