Designing embedded HMIs and connecting them to hardware

Description
Creating an embedded system with an attractive, compelling, user-friendly HMI is no longer the exception, it is the expectation. But designing a beautiful user interface is only half the battle. The real trouble comes when trying to connect traditional bread-and-butter embedded components to that HMI frosting.

Join QNX Software Systems and Teknision for a webinar that examines some solid fundamentals behind good HMI design. It further explores how to connect the HMI to lower-level components in detail, showing how straightforward that can become with the right design in a complete soup-to-nuts implementation for a simple sample.

Estimated length: 1 hour, including Q & A.

Who should attend: : This seminar is best suited for embedded software development managers, architects, and developers.

Prerequisites: There are no prerequisites for this session.
