Product Description

The Graphical User Interface (GUI) has become a key differentiator in today’s embedded markets. Full color LCD panels with keypads or touch screens are now present in a wide range of devices. With users becoming ever more demanding in their expectations, the GUI needs to be compelling and offer outstanding performance and responsiveness even on low cost hardware such as ARM7 or ARM9 devices.

Inflexion (formerly Nucleus Graphics) offers the solution, enabling the rapid creation, testing and deployment of compelling 3D GUI designs on any Nucleus, Linux or Android powered embedded device.

Deliver more compelling, more usable products in less time - New interface designs may be constructed within a WYSIWG environment without any coding or scripting, and then tested in simulation or on target hardware, even before the underlying functionality is complete. Visually rich 3D animation effects (such as spinning, flipping, tilting and twisting) can be incorporated into any design in seconds.

Minimize dependencies between your teams - Inflexion enables designers to define, modify and iteratively test the look, feel and behaviour of a device’s GUI without requiring any modification to the underlying application code, leaving your engineers free to focus on getting the product’s core functionality right.

Dramatically reduce risk and cost caused by software changes - Modifications to a product’s interface (e.g. to support a new screen size, language or consumer brand) can be completed in record time, without so much as a recompile of the underlying software stack.

Deliver a high end experience on low end hardware - Advanced 3D effects are possible even on low end hardware (e.g. an ARM7 with no graphics acceleration), but if your target silicon does offer graphics acceleration (e.g. Mali), Inflexion helps you unlock its power to deliver truly stunning experiences at blistering frame rates – and all without coding or scripting.
