Rightware Reveals Stereoscopic 3D Home Screen for Android at MWC 2011

Enabling agile creation, rapid customization and instant deployment of stereoscopic 3D home screens on Android-based mobile devices

Espoo, Finland – February 2, 2011 – Rightware Oy, the leader in embedded 3D user interface (UI) technologies, will demonstrate the world’s first stereoscopic 3D (S3D) home screen replacement for Android at the upcoming Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain 14-17 February.

Rightware’s stereoscopic 3D Android home screen is based on the Kanzi UI Solution – the 3D user interface technology renowned for its outstanding performance capabilities to seamlessly execute highly sophisticated and yet complex 3D user interface designs on mobile devices. The stereoscopic 3D home screens can be easily created and customized using a PC-based Kanzi Studio design tool and instantly deployed onto any Android device.

“Now, take a look at Android – the one you’ve never seen before – with a full stereoscopic 3D user experience. The world’s first fully functioning stereoscopic 3D home screen for Android is now up and running, and will be show-cased by Rightware at Mobile World Congress,” said Tero Sarkkinen, CEO of Rightware.

Previously, many mobile device manufacturers have struggled to create true 3D user interfaces and even more so stereoscopic 3D user interfaces. Rightware now offers a mature solution enabling device manufacturers to create astonishing S3D user experiences within their devices.

“While the S3D race among the mobile device manufacturers is underway, all of them have been forced to limit themselves to only S3D imaging and movies. With Kanzi UI Solution, these companies along with content creators can also create interactive S3D home screens, user interfaces and applications that enable the complete experience of stereoscopic 3D,” continued Sarkkinen.
