NVIDIA DRIVE Design Studio gets integrated into Qt

The Qt Company has announced that it will integrate NVIDIA DRIVE Design Studio, a 3D HMI authoring system, into the Qt ecosystem.
 
With the use of 3D technologies increasing significantly across all industries - especially in the automotive, healthcare and industrial automation sectors - innovative 3D design tools have become highly sought after by organizations and independent developers alike. By combining Qt’s current cross-platform framework of software and device development tools with NVIDIA DRIVE Design Studio, they are able to provide a world-class 3D design solution for the creation of embedded devices and in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) systems and digital cockpits.
 
The NVIDIA DRIVE Design Studio’s tooling capabilities have been demonstrated in a wide range of industries, especially the automotive sector. The Qt Company and NVIDIA plan to work closely to further develop the tool, helping automakers and Tier 1 automotive suppliers to rapidly develop proof of concepts for evaluation, market research, usability testing, and, ultimately, final production.
 
“As the automotive industry moves rapidly toward integrated AI cockpits, Qt with NVIDIA DRIVE Design Studio is a unique combination that allows us to realize this vision in our AI car strategy today,” said Justin Ebert, senior director, Automotive Cockpit, NVIDIA. “Our AI Co-Pilot technology with advanced 3D visualization will enable a safe and engaging driving experience.”
