Innobedded

The Rich Media Extensions are a innovative component suite that allows software developers to create graphically compelling and highly intuitive user interfaces for embedded applications that are based on the Microsoft .NET Micro Framework.
The library includes a set of complete Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) elements and controls that are based on the existing UIElement class of the .NET Micro Framework.

But our WPF controls are:

• more complete than existing WPF controls
• ready-to-use
• aligned with Desktop WPF
• usable with buttons and/or finger friendly touchable
• standard controls and new ones
• and fully themeable

What are the Benefits for the developer?

• By providing cool and modern themes out-of-the-box, an embedded developer needs not to care about art design and skinning. Custom themes for corporate branding are also possible.
• The controls are usable via buttons and/or a touch-display. When using a touch display, controls are usable without the need of a Stylus, but with your fingers.
• Faster time to market and reduced development costs because of a complete set of ready-to-use elements.
• Transfer your existing WPF knowledge from the PC and Web to small embedded devices.
• A further benefit is the underlying .NET Micro Framework with all its advantages.

In short:
This library will significantly reduce your development effort for your user interface. Further it provides a modern and powerful UI for your devices that will increase acceptance of your device compared to competing ones.
