As the world continues to grow more mobile it has become a necessity to make a wide range of
applications available at the touch of a finger. However, it can be a challenge to deliver these
applications on small, sophisticated embedded devices. The most innovative approach to embedded
application development comes from the Qt cross-platform application and UI framework.
The ICS Professional Services Team has unrivaled experience in both Qt and user interface design.
We stand ready to develop your embedded application and port it to your device.
This allows your team to concentrate on value-added innovation for your core business, with the
net result being a superior product delivered more quickly than your competition.
Here are some samples of recent projects across a range of industries:
Health and Fitness Precor designs and builds premium fitness equipment and has set the standard for continuous state-of-the-art fitness innovation. ICS helped develop Precor's next generation of Experience Series cardio equipment which features a Qt-enabled, high-end interactive touch screen console.
Design X-Rite Inc., which now includes design industry-leader Pantone, is a world leader in color management and communication technology used in any profession where color is mission critical. X-Rite partnered with ICS to develop a uniquely creative and artistic user interface that matched their customers' expectations for quality calibration tools targeted at the design and photographic markets.
Agriculture Hemisphere GPS precision agriculture products help to minimize costs and maximize yields. ICS helped HGPS develop the new user interface for this device that provides for the steering of agricultural machinery to complete a pre-defined job (e.g., plow, seed, harvest).
Automotive ICS has implemented a prototype In Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) system using Qt Quick. In addition, this software includes an engine system status monitor reporting in real time key sensors. All this code has been open sourced and is available for download on the ICS website.
Medical ICS ported Qt/Qt Quick to the QNX operating system and wrote a sample medical application that ran on a Freescale i.mx51 (800mhz) processor. The user interface was written completely in Qt Quick and illustrates how quickly applications can be developed using this technology.
Entertainment Systems deployed in amusement parks, video gaming centers, etc. tend to have an extended life that outlives the software and hardware on which they were originally based. In a recent engagement, ICS re-wrote a multi-media application with multiple video and audio streams in Qt and OpenGL while maintaining much of the tested and stable backend system.
Set-Top/Smart TV Desktop browsers are cumbersome to use on today's large screen Smart TVs because of the coarse control offered by typical remote controls. ICS has been involved with a number of engagements to improve the user experience of applications on such devices.
