Altia’s tools can be used individually or together in a model-based process. Without years of painful process changes. With Altia, you become more expressive and productive on the very first day.

PhotoProto automatically transforms your artist’s brilliant graphics into working concept prototypes. By itself, PhotoProto’s benefits are huge. But if you want more, PhotoProto also turns the artist’s work into reusable assets that can be passed to systems engineers and programmers. Altia Design is a full-featured authoring and integration environment that turns ideas, graphics or concept prototypes into detailed simulation models. Altia Design integrates your user interface with your backend application. You can start with input from PhotoProto, or, if you don’t have an artist on staff, you can use it from scratch. DeepScreen turns your complete Altia Design model into deployable code for desktops or embedded systems. DeepScreen helps you deliver in a fraction of the time. From concept to code, Altia helps you get your job done – faster than ever.



From concept to code... Prototype new GUI concepts
PhotoProto is a Photoshop add-on that automatically transforms your Photoshop graphics into a working, interactive, user-driven prototype. Simply arrange and name your Photoshop graphics layers for buttons, screens and other user interface objects. Click on the PhotoProto menu and out pops a working prototype that you can instantly try or send to colleagues, users and executives. No complex scripting languages to wrestle. No new authoring environments to learn. No coding. No pain. As an interaction designer, your contribution and your value explodes while your company’s profits soar. Get great concepts noticed and the right products to market.
Simulate integrated interface models
Altia Design is a full-featured user interface design, simulation and model integration environment. You can build user interface models from scratch or import the graphic assets created by artists. Altia Design then helps you integrate your model with third party tools or your own application code. In the end, you get a high fidelity, functionally complete, accurate simulation model. Use it to test your code, algorithms, concepts and systems. Get it right before building expensive hardware. Eliminate costly mistakes and schedule delays.
Generate deployable graphics code
DeepScreen is a graphics code generator that transforms your model or prototype into deployable code. DeepScreen generates code that is small, efficient and tuned for your target operating system. It will also generate code for commercial and custom RTOSs - or even no RTOS at all. DeepScreen takes over the graphics programming grunt work so your programmers can focus on the more challenging control and application code. No need to go through the pain of outsourcing. DeepScreen can shave months, even years, off your schedule. DeepScreen helps you deliver before your competition.
