The Qt Company to Showcase the New Digital Cockpit for Connected Vehicles at CES 2018
January 08 2018 - 1:44PM
The Qt Company (HEX:QTCOM) today announced its participation in the
upcoming 2018 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), taking place in Las
Vegas from January 9-12, 2018. At CES 2018, Qt will showcase a wide
range of customer and partner demos for connected vehicles –
including Qt’s revolutionary Digital Cockpit with Functional Safety
concept – which will highlight the integral role Qt’s technology
plays in helping deliver a digital cockpit experience that stands
out from the crowd. During CES 2018, Qt will be located at the
Westgate Hotel, Tech East, Suite 2010.
According to Business Insider, 381 million connected cars will
be on the road by 2020, a 10X increase from the 36 million in
circulation in 2015. As a result, automotive manufacturers and OEMs
are realizing that the connected vehicle’s interior – including
digital clusters, head-up displays (HUDs) and in-vehicle
infotainment (IVI) systems – has the potential to deliver an
immersive digital experience comparable to consumers’ smartphones.
However, as these digital cockpits become increasingly
technologically advanced, developers are facing challenges in terms
of delivering a consistent, user-friendly experience across
multiple screens.
Qt enables developers to overcome these challenges by providing
the tools to create multi-screen solutions that can be built into
one chipset, while combining 2D and 3D user interfaces (UIs) across
the various screens. By leveraging Qt’s cross-platform software
development framework, developers are able to use just one tool for
all screens, resulting in simplified engineering resourcing and the
lowest possible total cost of ownership. Furthermore, Qt ensures
consistency across clusters, IVIs and HUDs; helps boost
productivity; and reduces developers’ time to market for their
digital cockpit innovations.
“CES 2017 served as a preview of the endless possibilities for
technological innovation in connected vehicles, but this year’s
event will showcase how those possibilities have now come to life,”
said Juhapekka Niemi, Executive Vice President, Sales and Business
Development, The Qt Company. “We are extremely excited to give
attendees the opportunity to see first-hand what the revolutionary
new digital cockpit looks like, and we’re also looking forward to
helping developers understand how they can build innovative
in-vehicle solutions easier and faster than ever before. Through
these highly compelling Built-with-Qt demos, we’re able to
illustrate why the digital cockpit is the next frontier for
developers who are eager to deliver an immersive user
experience.”
Following are details on the demos Qt and its customers and
partners will showcase at CES 2018:
- The Qt Company•
Digital Cockpit with Functional
Safety • Qt’s flagship CES
demo (video here) is a two-screen integrated digital cockpit
concept jointly built by Qt and partner Luxoft (NYSE:LXFT), a
global IT service provider of innovative technology solutions for
several industries, including the automotive sector.
• Built with the Qt for Automotive Suite, the
concept illustrates interdomain communication and cross-domain
graphics. Applications running in the Linux domain display content
on both the center stack screen and the instrument cluster screen.
Meanwhile, the Qt Application Manager, together with Qt Wayland and
the Qt Compositor, make it easy to build multi-process UIs and
incorporate external applications, such as the HERE Navigation
engine. • Qt is the only tool to
unify all UI needs for the digital cockpit.•
E-Bike Instrument Cluster on
Low-End System-on-a-Chip (SoC):
This demo (video here) is an e-bike instrument cluster concept
designed and implemented in cooperation with Gofore, and the
concept highlights how Qt brings HMI designers and software
engineers together by using the same tools, enabling
cost-effective, rapid prototyping through collaborative
workflows.• Qt 3D Studio: This
demo showcases Qt’s new 3D design and development tool, which
provides a 3D UI authoring system for software developers and
graphic designers. Qt 3D Studio offers real-time editing of UIs;
powerful 2D/3D UI authoring technologies including Qt's libraries;
and an open, plugin-based architecture for rendering, input,
materials and effects with easy access to all source code.•
Reuse 3D designs in 2D instrument
clusters: Qt helps OEMs bring a consistent experience to
HMIs across high-end and low-end models through seamless transition
between 3D and 2D HMI tooling, and this demo replicates the 3D
cluster designed and implemented in Qt 3D Studio, but converted
into 2D on a low-end SoC typically for low-end car models.
- Symbio: At CES, Symbio – a digital services
and R&D company – introduces Elysian, an infotainment solution
that provides unprecedented value for automotive manufacturers, as
it brings new wireless Apple and Google services inside the car and
provides scripted and fully customizable user interface with Qt.
Elysian is pre-certified for Apple Carplay, Android Auto, Baidu
Carlife and Smart Device Link, which reduces vehicle time-to-market
through an accelerated certification process.
- Siili: This demo is an instrument cluster for
electric vehicles (EVs) designed and implemented with Qt 3D Studio
by IT service management company Siili, to support indoor (garage)
navigation view in 3D. The base of this concept is the real model
of garage from Berlin, and the demo uses the 3D garage model to
showcase a complete instrument cluster for EVs (with battery, power
consumption, energy recuperation info).
- Parrot Faurecia Automotive: The Parrot
Faurecia Automotive demonstrator showcases Parrot’s unique know-how
in software development and electronics design combined with
Faurecia’s systems integration capabilities across the full
interior – including the instrument panel and the seats. The Parrot
Faurecia Automotive embedded Android-based infotainment system,
built upon the Smart Antenna O3+ and the
HMI Brain, offers the vehicle occupants a rich
multimedia experience (apps, navigation, music, video, etc.)
bridging the best of the automotive and the smartphone worlds. The
HMI Brain runs Android, the apps, frameworks such as Qt, and drives
three large displays simultaneously, while the Smart Antenna O3+
handles radio reception and vehicle and telephone connectivity.
This open system is scalable and able to keep up with the consumer
electronics industry. Parrot is located within the Faurecia booth:
Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Plaza, CP-3.
CES is the world’s leading consumer electronics event and
showcases more than 3,900 exhibiting companies, including
manufacturers, developers and suppliers of consumer technology
hardware, content, technology delivery systems and more. The event
hosts 170,000 attendees from 150 countries and features 300+
conference sessions. For additional details on CES 2018, please
