Be amazed with what particle effects, smooth transitions, 3D animations and crystal clear UI animations can do for your next mobile device. Discover how easy it is to use our UI development environment, TAT Cascades and TAT Motion Lab and get a head start in mobile multimedia design.

TAT products are recognized for their time-to-market savings, resource efficiency and platform independence, giving users a more dynamic, faster and richer multimedia experience, in a truly astonishing way.

The mobile UI market is moving with tremendous speed and new innovative designs appear daily. TAT Academy is a set of uniquely designed courses to get you up to speed on how to get the maximum out of your TAT Cascades product regardless whether it is your first time off or if you are an advanced user.

TAT is now providing seminars to help uncover a roadmap to the future of UI technology. From advanced 3D to projector phones we provide a unique and informed perspective on the future of embedded UIs, and explore concrete use cases to identify where the highest user value will be. Within the seminar TAT will offer examples, guides, frameworks, taxonomies, and concepts for both today and tomorrow. Read our topic catalogue and discover how TAT inspires with today, tomorrow, and the future.

The 3Dphone project aims to develop an all-3D imaging mobile phone. This report describes a 3D media browser, which is the first demo application of the project. Since media browsers essentially are lists, several 3D design alternatives are discussed. The suggested plate, amphitheatre and cylinder 3D layouts can also be used for other types of content, such as contacts or installed applications.

In real life things are never completely black or white. Fortunately, we are surrounded by numerous nuances and in-between states that make life interesting. Still, in the digital world we have grown so accustomed to ones and zeros that we do not realize that user interfaces (UIs) could be much more than here or there, on or off, page 1 then page 2.

Following the trend of feature convergence in mobile handsets (phone, camera, mp3, etc.), the era of small projectors or “pico-projectors” will soon be upon us and within our phones. We have already seen mock-ups and real prototypes of these devices from companies such as Texas Instruments and non-embedded pico-projectors are available commercially in retail stores now. These devices offer “big screen” viewing experience from mobile devices.

Gestures are essentially movements made with our bodies. Gesturing is a rich and often subtle mode of communication that we all employ, often without even realizing it. From a profane gesture given in traffic to a slouch in our posture, gestures are used to convey emotion, confirmation and negation, or very specific and important messages (think of a crossing guard).

This document explores the use of 3D graphics in user interfaces (UIs) on mobile devices. We present a framework for analyzing and working with 3D in UIs, point to inspirational examples, and give suggestions and benefits of various 3D enabled interfaces.

This white paper discusses how new user interface technology can solve the bottlenecks of mobile phone user interface production. It is targeted at people who are looking to increase user experience, staff productivity and improve time-to-market for mobile phone software.

This white paper discusses the impact of introducing a more user centric approach to mobile user interface design, the technology options for moving in this direction, and how this will affect UI designs going forward. It is targeted at people whose aim is to enhance user experience and anyone looking to better understand the impact of a more user centric approach in mobile user interface design.

Winter has arrived in Sweden and so is our Q4 newsletter – filled with exciting new stories. This time we will take you up to speed on our recent announcements relative to the Android platform. Furthermore, be sure to take part in our survey on the future of user interfaces, compare your insights about the market, to the rest of the TAT community. Finally, MWC is just around the corner, and if you have not done so already, pencil in a meeting with TAT at the event! Happy Holidays!

The fall is here and as usual our newsletter is filled with exciting new stories. This time we will take you up to speed on gesture recognition which is becoming an increasingly popular way to control mobile phones and other devices. How does the technology work, and where is it heading? And by the way do not forget to check out the CUBE!

With successful MWC and CTIA events behind us, we are now back with a brand new newsletter that will take you up to speed on all our upcoming news and events. We have also included a special highlight – a brand new white paper on 3D graphics and how 3D can improve on the overall user experience.
