The Kanzi Experience at CES 2019 provided a first-hand glimpse into why the Kanzi product family is the toolchain of choice for all displays and services in the car regardless of operating system or platform architecture. Highlights included:
An Android Automotive system with advanced graphics powered by Kanzi UI and Android-based apps and services shared across the multi-screen digital cockpit with Kanzi Connect.
A curated set of commercially shipping Kanzi-powered production HMIs, along with advanced digital cockpit demonstrators from selected Tier 1 customers.
Expertise to help realize your UI visions and deliver your HMI projects is available from our 45+ partners in the growing Kanzi Partner Program and from Rightware’s own Kanzi Design Services team.
The Kanzi for Android demonstration showcases how Kanzi UI complements Android Automotive with advanced visuals and animations, and how Kanzi Connect enables apps and services from the embedded Android operating system to be shared across all vehicle displays. This combination of technologies allows automakers to build user interfaces true to their brand identity while benefitting from the features and services available in Android and its ecosystem.
