Market leaders in HMI and real-time 3D development collaborate to help streamline the development of advanced user interfaces.

Elektrobit (EB), global supplier of embedded and connected software products for the automotive industry, and Unity, the platform for creating and operating interactive, real-time 3D (RT3D) content, announced a collaboration to streamline the process to design and develop automotive human-machine interfaces (HMIs), utilizing real-time rendering to create next-generation, future-proof user experiences.

This collaboration utilizes Unity's real-time 3D rendering platform, and EB GUIDE, Elektrobit's HMI development toolchain that, according to the company, powers more than 50 million vehicles on the road today. EB and Unity are enabling their customers to jump-start next-gen real-time 3D automotive HMIs by accelerating time to market and providing a reliable foundation throughout the entire development journey.

EB and Unity will showcase a complete automotive cockpit user interface developed with their technologies at Car HMI USA, Nov. 16-17, in Detroit, MI.
