Interaction between Man and Machine

By using Movicon.NExT™ you can create extremely powerful and versatile
graphical interfaces. Animated screens are easy to create using symbols,
objects, wizards, faceplates, power templates and native multitouch user
interaction. The platform’s graphics editor provides a library containing
thousands of top quality XAML vector symbols and a toolbox rich in graphical
objects of the latest generation. In addition to the vector graphics editor, you
can also import your own drawings or use BMP, GIF, JPG, PNG or multimedia
formats.
Thanks to the WPF/XAML technology, Movicon.NExT™ supports dynamic
3D graphics visualization, allowing 3D models import and animation by using
the dynamic functions, views and events. TThis will empower the designer
to achieve interactivity and real-time plant data dynamicity using 3D graphic
components. The resulted spectacular two-dimensional or three-dimensional
graphics rendering will unleash the designer’s creativity to build interfaces
as they envisaged, from minimalistic schematics to more realistic graphic
representations, independent from screen resolution and local or web access.
