Through this, FORVIA will explore new markets within Rightware’s portfolio of clients, who will gain immediate access to FORVIA’s Smart Dimming and MyVue software designed to enhance the perceived image quality of vehicle’s electronic displays while reducing power consumption.

Together, FORVIA and Rightware aim to revolutionize display user experience, by making award-winning patented perceptual display technologies available in the best HMI production toolchain on the market. These and more innovations will be showcased at FORVIA and Rightware booths during Auto Shanghai in April.

“This partnership marks a great milestone for FORVIA’s Software-Only product introduction to the market in collaboration with Rightware. We join forces to provide the best-in-class HMI Software products that are 1- context-aware, 2- broadly applicable on different SoCs, 3-easy to Integrate and upgrade and 4-personalized for drivers and passengers.”, said Jean Lorchat, Software as a Product (SaaP) Director at FORVIA.

Over the next two years, FORVIA’s software will reach new users via Rightware’s Kanzi One, an HMI toolchain that enables automakers to accelerate the design and development of new user interfaces with superior visuals and optimized performance. Advanced graphics and specialization for the automotive market make it the tool of choice for innovative immersive cockpit designs that run efficiently on the selected hardware. The integration of Smart Dimming and MyVue in Kanzi One is quick and simple, immediately enabling you to access the power of the solution in your HMI designs.

“The availability of Smart Dimming and MyVue features for Kanzi One matches our mission to offer the best possible in-car experience for drivers,” said Tero Koivu, Co-Chief Executive Officer at Rightware. “We look forward to our customers taking advantage of this latest perceptual display technology when creating their automotive HMIs with Kanzi One.”

Automakers will be capable of empowering their vehicles with a safer, more comfortable, and personalized electronic display and interface that adapts to ambient lighting and user’s profile.

FORVIA’s UX software: Smart Dimming and MyVue

FORVIA’s software optimizes display readability by considering key influences of display perception: ambient lighting, panel technology, user’s visual system and content. The algorithms ensure high quality perceived image on all display devices for all age groups. 

Smart dimming, PACE award winning solution, enhances readability in bright and dark conditions, reduces power consumption and enables manufacturers to improve their competitive edge by reducing the cost of design, bill of materials and warranty. Already integrated by major carmakers, it improves driver safety and comfort.

MyVue enables users to adapt and enhance image perception based on age and gender, compensating for the yellowing of the cornea and reduced contrast sensitivity.
