Candera exhibited at “The Automotive Engineering Exposition 2021 ONLINE”, which took place from 26^th May to 30^th July.

The Automotive Engineering Exposition is Japan’s largest technical exhibition for automotive engineers, providing the latest technologies and products to the world. The Automotive Engineering Exposition was first held in 1992 as an exhibition specializing in automotive technologies for engineers and researchers active on the front lines of the automotive industry, and this was the first time to have been held online.

The Candera booth showcased the latest novelties in the fields of Automotive HMI design and Embedded Software, including the latest version 3.10 of “CGI Studio”, and innovative haptics HMI solutions that support intuitive touch feedback technology.

Furthermore, “Smart Importer”, a main feature of “CGI Studio” that won the first prize at the Car HMI Europe Awards 2021, was displayed.

This new feature is part of CGI Studio 3.10 and has been developed to support users without any programming skills to easily create stunning HMI solutions. Smart Importer turns static graphic files like Adobe® Photoshop, Sketch or Axure® RP into full functional HMIs, making complex programming routines obsolete.

Using this unique and revolutionary import technique, all users will be able to experience improved work efficiency and increased speed in the creation of prototypes, as well as quickly respond to constantly changing market trends and customer demands.

In a comparative survey, it has been shown that by using Smart Importer, development time can be cut down by 40% for HMIs and up to 75% for prototypes.

Smart Importer

This new feature is part of CGI Studio 3.10 and has been developed to support users without any programming skills to
easily create stunning HMI solutions. Smart Importer turns static graphic files like Adobe® Photoshop, Sketch or Axure®
RP into full functional HMIs, making complex programming routines obsolete.

R-Car M3 EV Cluster Solution

This modern EV digital cluster on Renesas Electronics’ “R-Car M3” is one of the newest iterations of Candera‘s
ambition to shape and create the future of automotive HMIs. It features different cluster scenes like charging report,
function status, navigation mode and charge point search.

Apart from those solutions, Candera will present several other innovative HMI solutions for the Automotive industry,
like an Android™ based solution and the Holistic HMI approach.

Based on over 20 years of experience in the embedded software development together with our broad customer base
we have created a mature feature-rich and customizable product. In fact, CGI Studio today covers all aspects of

Experience the latest HMI solutions and attend Candera’s presentation about Next Generation of HMI Development

Linz/Austria, February, 2021 – from March 1-5, 2021 Embedded World will go digital and with more than 200 presentations will deliver a comprehensive and in-depth program of sessions, conferences and speaker slots. During these 5 days Candera will present its latest HMI solutions and give an interesting insight into the “Next Generation of HMI Development”, an online presentation by David Aberl, Head of Product Management, held on 2nd of March, at 11:25 AM.

Based on Candera’s HMI design tool CGI Studio, at Embedded World 2021 the company will present a mix of different HMI solutions  for automotive, industrial and other applications. All solutions have been created with the assistance of a brand-new feature of CGI Studio, the AI based Smart Photoshop Importer. This feature is one out of many others of CGI Studio supporting the approach of leveraging designers’ creativity by simplifying the HMI development process as far as possible.

AI based Smart Photoshop Importer

Based on innovative AI detection algorithm technologies, Candera’s Smart Photoshop Importer has one major goal: to speed up the whole HMI creation process. In fact, this new feature enables to rapidly import Photoshop files into CGI Studio in order to automatically transform them into full functional HMIs. The technology behind this tool is an AI based UI/UX element detection and mapping technology that will help especially designers and graphic artists to save precious time and costs.
