What is new about Candera Studio? Here is a sneak preview:

Candera Studio: Easy access – for new users, and new market

Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) used to be found primarily in expensive machines such as automobiles. However with increasing computing power of microchips and decreasing prices, paired with expectations of users, GUIs are becoming increasingly sought after in various markets.

Candera Studio makes it easy for beginners and professionals alike to create HMIs for embedded devices. The software is scalable, hardware-independent, and extremely flexible. You can go from your initial idea to the finished product faster than ever before.

A free trial version is available.

Candera Studio includes ready-to-use controls, automated workflows, integrated state machines and an AI-powered Smart Importer, the latter of which uses artificial intelligence to recognize relevant components such as buttons, sliders, gauges, etc., and suggests the appropriate function for each element. You only have to select the appropriate component and define its property. Check the result immediately in a simulation of the Candera Studio Player. In a few minutes, you have created a fully functional HMI.

Creating an HMI is 3 easy steps:

Candera Studio: Fusion Editor

Candera Studio’s ease of use comes from its features such as the Fusion Editor, which could be seen as one of the turning points in easy HMI creation. By showing logic and behaviors visually, it opens up HMI creation to users without any programming skills. Designers can apply HMI functions to their own designs – no need to know how to code.

Candera exhibited new demos featuring HMI design tool CGI Studio at 15th AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2023

Candera exhibited new demos featuring HMI design tool CGI Studio at 15th AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2023

Candera exhibited at the 15th AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2023, a trade show featuring cutting edge automotive technology that was held at Tokyo Big Sight between January 25th and 27th.

 

AUTOMOTIVE WORLD is an event where the latest technology in the automobile industry is shown off. This includes advancements in automotive electronics, connected cars, autonomous driving, and more. This year’s iteration was one of the largest events of its kind since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, seeing more than 75,000 attendees over the course of three days.

 

Every year since it was founded Candera has shown off their latest innovations at AUTOMOTIVE WORLD, and this year as well saw many people stop by the Candera booth.

 

At Candera’s booth, a new demo was on display for an HMI that uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) to assist in parking a car. By using such an HMI, the driver would be able to get more accurate information about objects surrounding the car than what a camera can provide.

 

With LiDAR, an object is targeted with a laser and the time for the reflected light to come back is measured in order to determine the distance to and shape of the object.

This technology has the benefit of being relatively inexpensive, allowing it to be easily implemented into a vehicle.

 

In addition, Candera also showed off a demo for a multi-display solution that runs on Renesas Electronics’ R-Car H3 SoC (system on a chip). This demo features three separate screens for the meter cluster, IVI (in-vehicle infotainment), and heads-up display respectively. It also uses the multi-display feature of CGI Studio to achieve linking between multiple displays on a single SoC, all without requiring the user to do any coding.

 

Candera also showed off a demo for a digital meter cluster for an EV (electric vehicle) that features important information for an EV such as the battery charge and nearby charging spots. This demo uses new “Control” features introduced into CGI Studio last summer with the 3.11 update which help the user easily integrate bar and line graphs. With this demo, Candera showed their commitment to creating the future of automotive UIs and realizing a more sustainable society.
