Altia Design is the centerpiece of Altia's tool-chain. If you need a detailed, functionally complete, fully integrated user interface that can be turned into deployable code, then Altia Design is for you.
Altia Design is for systems and software engineers who want to bring their development efforts to life while drastically shortening their programming tasks. It's for graphics artists who are comfortable with more advanced logic and want to contribute more than static pictures. It's for technically savvy designers who want to move into the high-value world of true product development.
Altia Design is unlike anything you've used before. It picks up where PhotoProto leaves off. Altia Design offers an environment that lets you completely control custom objects – and take them to the next level of fidelity by connecting to application code or simulations.
Altia Design is used from product concept to code deployment and beyond. Our customers include Altia designs with their product proposals – and they garner support within their own organization and win more business. Altia designs can be easily distributed with our runtime engines and web plug-ins. The same graphics that were used to win the business can be deployed directly to the final product.
Altia Design is not just a set of pre-built components that you drag and drop. Altia Design employs an innovative method of describing animation, stimulus and behavior without programming. This gives you the ability to create the exact look and feel that makes your product unique. Altia's interactive prototypes give the customer, Marketing, Human Factors, System Engineering and Software Developers a complete model of the intended product. Product specifications and changes are easy to implement and verify.
After development, Altia Design integrates your user interface to your system models and prepares your interface for DeepScreen's powerful code generation. Altia Design shifts the graphics development process from hand coding to interactive graphics editing. Because it's a graphics editor, it can be used effectively by Graphics Artists, Interaction Designers, Systems Engineers and Programmers.
Embedded graphics development has traditionally been a programming task. Altia Design is a powerful graphics development tool that lets you build high performance, professional-looking prototypes and GUIs without the time-consuming process of building graphics one line of code at a time. This lets programmers do what they do best – build complex application code and get it running on custom hardware.
Altia Design is the common ground where designers and programmers can collaborate on the next generation of interfaces.
Altia Design lets you use assets from many different sources to jump start your concepts.Altia Design can start with:
- PhotoProto output
- Static images
- Pre-built Altia library components
- Nothing (build your ideas from scratch)
Moreover, anything built in Altia Design can be used during all stages of the embedded development process.
And it does not stop there. The Altia designs can also be used in interactive training programs or put on the web for sales and marketing.
Altia Design output can be used as a:
- Fully functional, interactive, stand-alone virtual prototype
- Front-end to a simulation model
- Software GUI connected to application code
- Web based demonstration of a new product
- Deployable graphics program for your embedded system
"With Altia Design you never have to throw away your graphics work again. Build it once and use it from start to finish."
