The Qt Company develops and delivers the Qt development framework under commercial and open source licenses. We enable a single software code across all operating systems, platforms and screen types, from desktops and embedded systems to wearables and mobile devices. Qt is used by approximately one million developers worldwide and is the leading independent technology behind millions of devices and applications. Qt is the platform of choice for in-vehicle systems, medical devices, industrial automation devices, and other business critical application manufacturers, and is used by leading global players in more than 70 industries.

Embedded Development with Qt: Exploring Use Cases Beyond MCUs and MPUs

You may already be familiar with Qt's ability to support the entire embedded software lifecycle – from design and development to testing and deployment – but Qt can support a variety of use cases beyond the traditional. During this session, we will explore conventional scenarios, as well as newer innovations, such as WebAssembly and other solutions. Additionally, we will provide an overview of piloting Qt usage in the cloud and a Qt angle to Digital Twins.

Software as a Product Differentiator

With the rapidly increasing prevalence of IoT smart devices, most user experiences are now digital, making modern software the ultimate product differentiator. However, for the product developer, perfecting software is more than just updating user features and functionality; the challenge is creating unique user interactions that result in increased adoption and sales. This talk will explore how differentiating your product UI/UX through software can maximize your overall business outcomes. We’ll also explore how innovative strategies like embedded digital advertising can turn devices into continuous revenue generators.

The Modern UX is Mine: How Personalizing the Embedded GUI Unlocks the User Experience of Tomorrow

In a world where mobile and web set the bar for the most modern and intuitive experiences, how can we extend that to the most constrained platforms like embedded devices and make a great user experience ubiquitous? Personalization is the key, however delivering a unique static experience isn't scalable. This talk will look at how embracing higher-level languages can help the user interface meet the consumer’s wants and needs. We'll walk through how to use Qt to develop for a variety of embedded platforms in a way that maximizes code and design asset reuse to deliver a consistent experience that is both dynamic and flexible.

Leveraging multiple Cores for an immersive UX

While the increasing use of software in embedded systems has led to more powerful and capable devices, it has made them more complex to control. Traditional mechanical buttons and controls are being replaced with touch control panels having a graphical HMI for operators to better handle the complexity while controlling such devices. Users have become so accustomed to smartphones that they expect a similar user experience when operating other touch-based devices. As device manufacturers look at ways to provide smartphone-like user experiences at reasonable costs, we will be walking through some of the options that Qt offers in this area.

Building an Agile Development Team with a Framework you can use Anywhere

Your development project needs predictable delivery timelines, cost and scheduling that allows to changing scopes - even during a pandemic. Join Harrison Donahue, Business Development Manager at The Qt Company to hear about how to address problems with efficient development when developers need to "change gears" when working on multiple projects of differing scope, or taking over for someone else. You will also find out about the advantages of leveraging a framework where the tooling and APIs are the same across MCU, MPU, Desktop and Mobile.

Deliver rich graphical UX without blowing your hardware costs

Microcontrollers (MCUs) are ubiquitous in electronic appliances in consumer electronics, industrial automation, healthcare and the automotive industry, but the user experience of the user interfaces has been lagging behind. Users and operators expect smartphone-like user experiences with every screen they interact - a huge challenge for manufacturers to achieve. The desire to maintain existing supply chains and keeping the bill of materials low requires manufacturers to both improve the performance of their user interfaces while overcoming performance bottlenecks. Now, the most popular C++ development framework, Qt, is expanding its offering for the MCU market, with a new and lightweight implementation which enables the creation of high-performance user interfaces for the most low-end hardware. 

What will you learn during this session?

  • Display Resolutions supported by MCUs
  • Key considerations for graphics on MCUs
  • Deliver a smartphone-like User Interface with Qt
  • Memory footprint and performance indicators
  • Demos

Improve your Embedded Device Development: Effective UX & Back-End Collaboration

Are you responsible for the development of modern embedded devices? If so, you know that the process of creating these devices has undergone significant changes in the past decade. With the addition of screens, we’ve gained the ability more easily and dynamically visualize data. And with the introduction of touch technology, there are completely new patterns and mechanisms to control an environment. To truly take advantage of these capabilities, development teams must incorporate UI and UX specialists into their workflow.

But what exactly does this involve, and how can it benefit your development process and the user experience of your devices? On the one hand, a strong focus on UX can improve the workflow of using a device. But customers also have higher expectations regarding the look and feel of user interfaces. They want visually appealing interfaces that provide a gaming-like experience. So what are the steps required to combine different user personas?

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to effectively incorporate UI and UX specialists into your development process to streamline product creation and deliver a top-notch user experience. You'll also discover ways to avoid complexity and accelerate product creation times so that you can bring your modern embedded devices to market faster and more efficiently.

Join Qt’s Product Director, Maurice Kalinowski, for this free webinar. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from the expert and take your embedded device development to the next level.
