What is Inflexion?
UI Express Tool

Drag & drop PC tool

Allows rapid implementation of UIs Apply custom OpenGL/ES Shader effects Output runs on Graphics engine

Graphics Engine

Advanced 2D, 2.5D & 3D graphics

In built software rendering or use of available hardware acceleration (Open GL/ES 1.1 and 2.0)

Click through process for integrating with Android

Continue to write apps in Java

Inflexion Solves Your UI Implementation Problems

Inflexion is a product used to create and implement UIs quickly without having to write UI code
From sophisticated and animated high-end UIs to lower-end UIs

Breaks away from the fixed controls & widgets typical in Android It is available free of charge with all i.MX51, i.MX53, i.MX 6Dual and i.MX 6Quad processors and development systems

Example: Replacement home screen and app launcher system

Java-side framework manages inclusion of Inflexion-rendered content within the Android UI

Advanced UIs with Inflexion

Cell/Frame Animations
Creating complex animations by applying Cell/Frame animation feature to elements.
Allowing a UI element to have its placement properties (i.e. location, orientation, scale, opacity, frame, color) altered by an underlying software application value.

Open GL/ES 2.0 Effects

Including programmable shader based effects. For example: per pixel lighting, shadows, reflections, water effects, bumpy texture effects, etc

Dynamic Displacement

Scaling
Inflexion has the capability to zoom, scale and rotate 2D and 3D graphics

Bitmap & Native fonts:

Via its internal bitmap font engine or via external engine

Screen transitions
Allowing any type of animations on objects or even full pages during page transition. Rotating an element in 2D or 3D space.
Support import of 3D COLLADA models

Variable Design Size

Allowing the layout to be chosen according to the screen size

Element Rotation

Touchdown Animations
To enable sophisticated effects like glowing, blurring, shrinking etc

3D Models

Etc, etc, etc
