Kanzi™ is the fastest and most robust option currently available for creation of applications with 3D graphics user interfaces for embedded solutions. Kanzi is offered for licensing to manufacturers of cell phone, automotive and consumer electronics products.

Manufacturers using Kanzi will benefit from completely eliminating the need for prototyping and then having to re-create the same content separately for the target device. This leads to radically shorter product development cycles and reduced risk.

Kanzi technology is already used by almost every major semiconductor company in the form of Futuremark’s OpenGL® ES benchmarks, software which helps tune the performance of new chips. As well as effortlessly producing PC-quality advanced 3D graphics, Kanzi also supports the very latest HMI technologies such as touch screen, multi-touch, 3D animation and high resolutions.

In a recent project for Audi AG, the Kanzi engine delivered a fully rendered car dashboard including gauges, navigation, infotainment and environmental controls, all displayed in real-time 3D graphics. Futuremark also co-operated with Texas Instruments to create a next generation mobile UI prototype using Kanzi engine and Texas Instruments' OMAP3
