April 14, 2009 (Tokyo, Japan)—Acrodea, Inc. (CEO and President: Junya Tsutsumi), headquartered in Meguro-ku, Tokyo has completed VIVID UI Effect Framework in cooperation with Yappa Corporation (CEO and President： Masahiro Ito), headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
VIVID UI Effect Framework is offered as a framework of optional features to VIVID UI®, such as high-speed rendering that leverages hardware capability on a mobile terminal and screen effects that use 2D and 3D graphics functionality. Up until now, the attainment of complicated screen transition effects required script coding by user interface (UI) designers. VIVID UI Effect Framework, however, provides a standard selection of various types of effects. Their selection and combination results in embedding of superior screen transition effects to UI. The resulting application development for mobile terminals can deliver a high-quality user experience. Yappa has provided a portion of the effects deployed in the current VIVID UI Effect Framework. Sophisticated 3D rendering on the SpinPlus graphics engine with OpenGL ES 1.1 compatibility generated outstanding expressions for those effects.
