Develop Embedded Applications and Graphical User Interfaces
in Less Time and at a Lower Cost with SpectraWorks™
SpectraWorks is a platform-independent embedded systems
Graphical User Interface (GUI) technology suite,
enabling highly interactive branded applications on any type
of device. With SpectraWorks, GUI design and deployment
happen in a single step, reducing or eliminating repetitive design,
development and QA cycles that plague embedded software
development. Shipping worldwide in tens of millions of units
through top international companies, SpectraWorks is a proven,
stable base to build any embedded product.
The SpectraWorks GUI platform consists of three key
elements:
 |
SpectraBuilder™
A professional GUI design tool that makes
creating a platform-independent user interface as easy as
possible without writing any code or script of any kind.
SpectraBuilder makes multi-model and multi-branding
dramatically easier by using a unique separation of design
elements and software. With WYSIWYG preview and in-place
language localization, SpectraBuilder reduces the
challenges faced in real-world production of multiple models,
multiple worldwide regional versions, and multiple
brands.

SpectraCore™
A widget-based GUI Engine, SpectraCore has a complete library
of widget building blocks that both easily jump-starts
development and powerfully represents a leading edge GUI.
With innovative “skin” technology, SpectraCore uses a small
asset size to build most GUIs with easy future maintenance
characteristics.
Shaded, anti-aliased vector fonts blend dynamically with the
underlying GUI graphics to produce a high-quality look, even
with restricted color-palette systems. SpectraCore is
extremely portable, already running on over 20 different
system designs, with very light CPU, RAM, ROM and system
requirements.

SpectraApps™
SpectraApps are the personality, features and functions of the
specific SpectraWorks-enabled device. Most SpectraApps are
written by Planetweb's licensors -- Digital Camera, BluRay
Player, Satellite Receiver, and Refrigerator are just a few
real-world examples. Planetweb also directly supplies
reference versions of feature-rich multimedia applications,
such as the Digital Photo Manager, that help our partners to
bring highly interactive functionality to their devices quickly.

SpectraWorks Speeds Development
Traditional embedded systems User Interface design and
development methodologies involve a wide separation between
the User Interface design team and the Software Engineering
team. This cumbersome communication and development process
leads to increased development time and higher development costs.
Design-Once with SpectraWorks!
SpectraWorks dramatically reduces the communication and
documentation between design and development teams by enabling
design and engineering to work on the same digital design
document. This equates to reduced time-to-market, and a more flexible, reliable,
strongly-branded and cost-effective product development cycle.
The product design team can Design-Once and
avoid the wasteful cycle of traditional GUI creation.
