Altia Design by Altia, Inc.

Product Description

Altia Design is a powerful graphics development tool that allows users to build high performance, professional looking prototypes and GUIs -- without programming. The exact look and feel of a product can be demonstrated to the customer, Marketing, Human Factors, System Engineering and Software Developers. Product specifications and changes are easy to implement and verify. The Altia Design prototype can then be integrated to system models, allowing users to debug their model before it goes to hardware. After development, Altia designs can be used with Altia's DeepScreen code generator to produce the graphics code that is deployed in the final product.

With Altia Design, users can:

- Quickly prototype new product concepts
- Enhance the fidelity of PhotoProto output
- Animate graphics and create behavior without graphics programming
- Build reusable library components
- Distribute the prototype to others for feedback with royalty-free runtimes
- Post prototypes on the web with Altia's free web plug-in
- Build display graphics that can be turned into deployable code
- Meet aggressive schedules without compromising looks and performance
