Why Candera CGI Studio?
Candera CGI Studio is a scalable, hardware-independent HMI development tool for embedded devices. It is well-established in the automotive sector and is also targeting other industries, such as medical technology. The evaluation revealed the following advantages:
- Early iteration without target hardware: The integrated desktop simulation made it possible to evaluate UI concepts and menu navigation and iterate quickly even before the device hardware was available.
- High-Performance 2D/3D Rendering: The rendering engine renders the 3D background animation smoothly even on resource-constrained, low-cost hardware such as the Raspberry Pi 4.
- Hardware independence: The broad support for various MCUs and MPUs allows for early performance benchmarks on the respective target platform and keeps hardware selection options open for a long time.
- Efficient Designer-Developer Workflow: Separating design from application logic enables UI design and HMI development to proceed in parallel within a compact team.
