 Altia
Design is the centerpiece of Altia's tool-chain. If you need a detailed,
functionally complete, fully integrated user interface
that can be simulated and 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 allows unlimited flexibility and options.
It 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.
They win more business and garner support within
their own organization. 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 used to develop the product.
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:
Moreover, anything built in Altia Design can be used during all
stages of the embedded development process.
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
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.
Human Factors can easily test the human machine interface while
System Engineering uses the Altia design with their simulation and
modeling tools. After development, Altia designs can be used with
our DeepScreen code generator to produce
the final code that is deployed in the product. And it does not
stop there. The designs can be used in interactive training programs
or put on the web for sales and marketing. |
