Altia HMI Offers “Major Advance” in Range Rover Information Cluster

Land Rover is accepting auto industry accolades for its 2010 Range Rover. Not alone are critics praising the attenuate updates to the Range Rover’s archetypal exterior, but they are agitated about the agitative new additions to the car interior. One of the a lot of affecting additions to the new Range Rover is the vehicle’s basic apparatus array supplied by Visteon Corporation.

Traditional concrete gauges no best crop centermost date on the new Range Rover dashboard. In their abode is a new, 12” Thin Film Transistor awning which shows all capital disciplinarian advice via smartly advised graphical displays and basic dials. The disciplinarian can adapt the bulletin centermost to affectation claimed prioritized advice – from arrangement warnings, alfresco temperature and car advice to audio and blast displays. The bulletin centermost can aswell acquaint off-road information, like council angle, caster articulation, abeyance settings and Terrain Response™ settings.

Nick Rogers, Land Rover’s Chief Engineer of New Vehicle Architecture explains, “The new affectation technology acclimated by the 2010 Range Rover is a above advance. It gives amazing adaptability in presenting information, so that the disciplinarian gets absolutely the abstracts they require, in all active conditions.” The apparatus array and bulletin centermost screens were created for Land Rover with Altia HMI development and cipher bearing tools.

For the Range Rover apparatus cluster, Land Rover’s Tier 1 supplier, Visteon, acclimated Altia Design to abetment in the conception of the custom graphical meters and card arrangement to acceptance the abounding added appearance in the different new apparatus cluster. Altia Design was acclimated to accommodate cartoon from several sources, actualize added images and adapt the images and airheaded into the agenda apparatus array model. The archetypal was acclimated to analysis and verify adapted apparatus array behaviors. Altia’s DeepScreen software was again acclimated to accomplish C cipher which is now deployed aural the Range Rover apparatus cluster. The DeepScreen-generated cipher is specific to the called 2D/3D cartoon accelerator, base the abounding ability of the anchored ambition GPU.

Already admired as one of the world’s a lot of complete affluence vehicles, Land Rover has afresh aloft the bar with its 2010 Range Rover. With advice array screens developed application the Altia toolchain, the Range Rover satisfies the affluence car driver’s apprehension for on-demand advice with delightful, cutting-edge graphics.

Altia to Discuss Rapid Prototyping at ARM Conference

Altia announces that Senior Applications Engineer David Marker will allege at ARM TechCon3 (formerly The ARM Developers Conference), which will be captivated from October 21-23, 2009 at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, CA. This conference, organized by the ARM Partner ecosystem, serves as the arch befalling for alternation amid engineers exploring or currently designing ARM hardware, software and systems. Mr. Marker is appointed to allege about “Leveraging Graphical Code Generators for Optimal User Experience and Lowest Cost” on Friday, October 23.

During his presentation, Mr. Marker will altercate what important choices have to be fabricated during new artefact development, accurately apropos the user interface and the accouterments that will run the final product. Whether development begins with pre-selected accouterments or a acutely authentic interface abstraction from Marketing, Mr. Marker will altercate how accelerated development with cipher bearing is capital for authoritative the appropriate best about bond platforms with user interfaces. He will appearance how, if accouterments is pre-selected, target-specific cipher bearing is activated to actualize a array of interfaces and deployed to that processor – acceptance developers to “test-drive” them and bear the optimal acquaintance for that hardware. When a user interface is “suggested” by Marketing, Mr. Marker will authenticate how a development aggregation can actualize an interface to authentic blueprint and accommodate the adequacy to “try on” altered accouterments until the best fit is begin for Marketing’s interface.

Altia is appreciative to accept the befalling to present such an agitative abstraction to added ARM ally and prospects. David Marker provides an abreast and hands-on point of appearance for admirers at Techcon3. Since 2003, Mr. Marker has been a Senior Applications Engineer at Altia. In accession to creating a array of accouterments ports for Altia’s DeepScreen cipher generator, he aswell provides training and abutment to Altia barter worldwide. Before abutting Altia, Mr. Marker formed as a software developer at Interpro Technology, Inc. and as chief anchored software architect at Professional Software Associates as a chief anchored software engineer, area he provided consulting casework to Wind River Systems on the BMW E60 in-car aeronautics system. He accustomed a B.S. in Computer Science from Michigan State University in 1996.

Ford Fiesta Coming to US Shores – with Altia HMI on Board

Ford Motor Company has appear that their Ford Fiesta will be accession in North American showrooms in the summer of 2010. Its activating user interface was created by all-around automotive supplier Visteon Corporation with Altia HMI development and cipher bearing tools.

The Fiesta’s red-on-black centermost assemblage displays serve as the hub for a advanced arrangement of altitude and ball functions. Audio, SYNC, HVAC and added car ambience displays are accessible from a individual activating screen. These functions are all accessible via acceptable button inputs or through chip articulation recognition. The graphical agreeable and action of the multi-function screens were advised and implemented for Ford application the Altia HMI apparatus suite. Altia Design was acclimated to actualize the custom graphical card arrangement to acceptance the advanced arrangement of appearance in this different new display. The interface shows hasty abyss – featuring bendable buttons, pop-ups, indicators, scrolling airheaded and custom graphics. Altia’s DeepScreen software was acclimated to accomplish C cipher for the cartoon to absolutely aftermath the archetypal created in Altia Design. This was a key agency in the HMI deployment.

The Fiesta’s beat akin of HMI is commonly exceptional of in the baby car articulation because top end accouterments costs are prohibitive. Utilizing Altia’s DeepScreen miniGL ambition helped affected this obstacle. The miniGL ambition is advised to watch abstracts down to anniversary bit and choke the a lot of achievement accessible out of low-end hardware. Fiesta developers were able to bear advanced cartoon by application Altia’s miniGL target, which has actual basal anchored ability requirements like a 16-bit processor, 5K RAM brand and no RTOS. This cipher is now active in the Fiesta centermost assemblage – and the consistent displays accept won the hearts of auto enthusiasts in Europe and China.

Dave Marker, Senior Applications Engineer at Altia, accurate the Fiesta centermost assemblage development efforts and saw contiguous the challenges that were affected in this aggressive project. “Ford has absolutely pushed the boundaries with this arrangement with the arresting akin of agreeable and achievement that has been engineered into this solution. I am appreciative that Altia was able to accord to such an avant-garde project. I cannot delay to crop a Fiesta for a drive – if alone to play with the radio!”
