May 30, 2007 (Tokyo, Japan)—The user interface platform VIVID UI™ for mobile terminals developed by Acrodea, Inc. (CEO and President: Junya Tsutsumi), headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, has been implemented in the model 904i series mobile handsets of NTT DoCoMo.
VIVID UI is a user interface platform developed by Acrodea for mobile phones, and represents innovative middleware that can integrate various types of multimedia content, such as 3D graphics, animation, and movies. VIVID UI enables mobile phones that can be readily customized with graphically enhanced menus and standby screens previously unimplemented. In addition, the NTT DoCoMo service Kisekae Tool® employs VIVID UI authoring technology by Acrodea. By using this tool, handset manufacturers and content providers can create compatible content with a wealth of expression. Consequently, the solution allows the creation of diverse user environments under short lead times while holding costs down.
N904i manufactured by NEC permit full-size movies on backgrounds to menus as rich graphical functionality that has not been implemented before. NTT DoCoMo's new service Kisekae Tool is also developing a diverse content supply.
Acrodea intends to expand the delivery of VIVID UI domestically and internationally to mobile phones and other platforms in the future.
