DEVICE DIFFERENTIATION WITH 3D USER INTERFACES
Kanzi® is targeted to solve the implementation and differentiation problems of today’s 3D user interfaces and enable UI designers and engineers to focus on their core competences. Kanzi® provides a complete solution for UI designers and engineers from design to creation, testing and deployment of visually rich and intuitive 3D user interfaces.
The best performance with stunning 3D visual effects
Kanzi® provides an excellent UI technology for a rapid creation of stunning and breath-taking 3D user interfaces. As Kanzi® has been originally built for embedded devices, it enables an outstanding performance of highly sophisticated and complex 3D designs allowing those to be executed on a wide range of embedded devices. With Kanzi®, animations, cameras, lights, textures, materials, effects, behaviors, transitions and so on can be all glued together to achieve the true 3D user interface for an embedded device.
Rapid creation, radical customization and effortless deployment
Kanzi® significantly reduces the efforts needed to build the 3D user interfaces for an embedded device. With the complete Kanzi® UI Solution, rapid creation and radical customization of 3D user interface can be done without the need to touch the code. The deployment of the Kanzi®-enabled 3D user interface is easy and seamless.
Accelerated workflow and focus on core competences
As Kanzi® separates the graphical presentation from the functionality, both user groups, UI designers and engineers, find the technology valuable. UI designers can create user interface concepts and test those independently on PC-based Kanzi Studio and deploy designs on a target device without any coding expertise needed. Meanwhile, the embedded engineers can focus on the software and also use Kanzi Studio to get UI corresponding with the implementation.
Platform scalability
Kanzi® is the platform and operating system agnostic and requires only OpenGL ES 1.x or 2.0. Kanzi® offers a perfect solution for device manufacturers as it doesn’t cause the lock-in effect for specific platform or OS version but scales flexibly to any platform variant that supports OpenGL ES. In many cases, for example with Android, consumers eagerly want the latest and greatest version of Android for their device. In Kanzi®, nothing needs to be changed; your fantastic user interface is immediately up and running.
The best 3D development tool for embedded devices
Kanzi® consists of the most compelling, true-3D design tool – Kanzi Studio – for embedded user interfaces. Kanzi Studio 3D UI design toolkit provides a real-time WYSIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor for the user interface designers and embedded engineers. Kanzi Studio boosts the user interface creation with its rich capabilities to do animations, manage the material content of 3D objects, create behavior for UI and decide the 3D transitions and effects, such as twisting, zooming, pinching, orbiting, fading, blurring etc.
Freedom of choice with 3D modeling tools
Kanzi® users have a better influence and more freedom with decisions as they can use any 3D modeling tool supporting COLLADA® in order to create 3D objects and effects to user interfaces. This can easily lead to the fantastic 3D user interfaces and user experiences in those, as designers don’t have to learn any new design tools or technologies.
