Digital Airways Makes 3D Mobile Graphics a Reality
Mobile user experience software specialist, Digital Airways, introduces
Kaleido 3D, an advanced graphic rendering solution for mobile phones.
Building on the Kaleido UI software solution, Kaleido 3D allows 2G and
3G handsets manufacturers to create full 3D user interfaces quickly and
cost effectively.
Taking advantage of the OpenGL-ES standard, Kaleido 3D responds to
handset manufacturers’ challenges in developing sophisticated 3D
graphics for user interfaces and product positioning by providing a multiplatform
UI framework and a library of pre-integrated customizable and
extendable functions all aimed at simplifying the creation of any sort of
innovative animation. The solution takes full advantage of platform
resources such as graphic accelerator, 2D/3D engines, as well as image
codecs.
As the undeniable trend for advanced graphics in mobile user experience
takes hold, handset makers seek efficient UI solutions to compete in the
high-end mobile handset game. “Creating 3D user interfaces with
traditional programming solutions, however, is technically difficult”, says
Philippe Silberzahn, Digital Airways’ CEO. “The unique benefit of
Kaleido 3D is to extend Kaleido’s recognized ease of creating 2D user
experiences to the 3D world.”
Kaleido 3D completes and extends Kaleido Animator, introduced by
Digital Airways earlier this year. Together, they facilitate the creation of
animated backgrounds, 3D moving objects (e.g. buttons, indicators),
splash screens, wizards (e.g. help, notification of events), dynamic menus,
transition between contexts (e.g. sliding, fading in and out, torsion),
management of layers (alpha blending), etc.
Kaleido 3D is part of the Kaleido user experience solution that powers
millions of devices worldwide.
