Accelerate your HMI development with Advanced Human Machine Interface with Unreal engine.
In 2020 Game studio gaint Epic games, Unreal engine introduced their new Design Driven Developement mode for Advanced Human Machine Interface for Automotive.
According to Unreal Engine ,Epic differs from conventional HMI approaches by providing crucial elements for design-driven development. Support for version control, visual scripting via Blueprints, and direct access to a C++ codebase allow for the exposure of ever-more functionality.
Hope this will make an impact on Automotive industry to provide flexible and fluent experiance for users.
Epic points out that even though Unreal Engine is already used by automotive businesses for car configurators and marketing operations, existing projects, assets, and pipelines can be reused with minimum effort for HMI systems, with the exception of asset mobile optimization.
Also Unreal Engine’s powerful real-time feature set to create best-in-class HMI, infotainment, and digital cockpit experiences using new vesrions of unreal studios.
HUMMER EV In Vehicle Information Graphics
Unreal Engine now supports a number of hardware platforms, including Qualcomm Technologies’ Qualcomm® SnapdragonTM Automotive Platform. Unreal Engine is supported by Siili Auto’s customised infotainment systems and Vectorform’s digital product and customer experience platforms, as well as support for BlackBerry QNX’s QNX® Neutrino® RTOS, a microkernel real-time operating system.
Features in Unreal Engine enviornment
1 Blueprint visual scripting system
You can quickly prototype and ship interactive content with designer-friendly Blueprint visual scripting without touching a line of code.
2 Niagara particles and visual effects
Using the built-in Niagara visual effects editor, you can achieve film-quality levels of VFX polish in real time for effects like fire, smoke, dust, and water.
3) Downloadable Content
Downloadable assets alters the appearance, feel, and functionality of your UI in real time, allowing your users to personalise their experience.
4) Full access to C++ source code
With unrestricted access to the entire C++ source code, you can study, tweak, expand, and debug the entire Unreal Engine while finishing your project.
HMI-specific features in Unreal Engine
HMIs can take up to 10 seconds to load in some production vehicles. The HMI starting processes in Unreal Engine have been significantly improved, allowing it to boot exceptionally quickly.
Unreal Engine’s support for OpenGL ES3.2 and Vulkan on automotive hardware enables state-of-the-art rendering that efficiently brings the best visuals to the screen.
Designers can keep applications operating smoothly with the engine’s array of profiling tools, such as Unreal Insights, ensuring high-performance and fluid user interactions.
Downloadable content packs can be dynamically loaded from OTA updates, allowing you to alter functionality and content in your HMI experience quickly. Fast style switching allows consumers to personalise their vehicle by changing every part of the user interface with a single button click.
Thus Accelerate your HMI development with Advanced Human Machine Interface with Unreal engine.
Hope this post will help you to accelarate the development. Start from here
