=== Guiliani + D/AVE 2D: “Smart HMI” solution for cost driven embedded systems ===

Driven by smart phones customers expect “Smart HMIs” on all kind of devices: Modern graphical control elements (widgets) combined with smooth animations on high-resolution touch-screen displays replace single-color segment displays and hard-keys. A reliable touch screen performance combined with an intuitive GUI design is a must. All of this needs to be met at the established price points of the target devices. Also short development cycles and high reuse factors are key criteria.

With the combination of the Guiliani HMI Framework and the D/AVE 2D graphics rendering core, TES offers a low-footprint and thus cost efficient solution for “Smart HMIs” on embedded devices.
