Create next-gen, future-proof HMI experiences

Seamlessly connect your human-machine interface (HMI) development processes and extend the power of real-time rendering across all types of HMI screens, including infotainment systems, digital instrument clusters, and augmented reality-powered head-up displays (HUDs).

The building blocks of an interactive 3D HMI toolchain

Unity’s preconfigured, highly customizable HMI Toolkit lets you create an interactive 3D HMI system that covers all phases: design, prototyping, development, and deployment into mass production. This toolkit is available exclusively to Unity Enterprise for Product Lifecycle customers.

"Unity brings an optimized content rendering engine, content creation and toolchains which can be utilized to work with stretch screens and "normal" resolution screens alike. The output of this powerful engine is stunning display experiences that have to be seen. Coupled with i.MX 8QuadMax’s performance and fail-functional display safety capabilities provide the consumer with a seamless, beautiful and safe experience."

Kyle Fox, Director, i.MX 8 Series Applications Processor, NXP

“Unity offers an incredible advantage to designers by allowing them to develop an interactive HMI for a target system, and then experience the near-final output and actual performance long before deployment."

Why power your HMI with Unity

Accelerated UI prototyping

Unity’s HMI Toolkit reduces the time to set up a baseline HMI configuration. You can also build your UI faster with common UI elements provided in the toolkit – including dials, buttons, text, glyphs; scrollable lists and progress bars; images and video feeds; and UI masking – all of which can be customized based on design preferences.

WYSIWYG development

Real-time rendering helps you iterate faster and reduce your production time by enabling 3D visualization (what you see is what you get) and effortless collaboration throughout the HMI design and review phases. And your projects are directly deployable to your embedded target, so you don’t have to recreate the HMI multiple times.

Thousands of free and affordable assets

Speed up your HMI development. For prototyping or production, save critical time and effort with quality art and tools from the Unity Asset Store, contributed by Unity’s six-million-strong developer community.

Performant and scalable graphics

Take advantage of Unity’s powerful rendering solution. The Universal Render Pipeline offers a full suite of artist tools for content creation. It’s the optimal choice for deploying to all platforms that Unity supports – with best-in-class visual quality and performance.
