Introduction

More and more, users expect 3D-rendered elements in user interfaces for LCD displays. They expect that objects will have depth and will rotate. They expect that menus will move across the screen to reveal more choices, like the iPad, iTouch or Android devices.

Generating 3D images requires a sophisticated graphics display controller (GDC), such as Fujitsu’s MB86R0x “Jade” and MB86R1x “Emerald” families.

Unfortunately, in many cases, existing applications are not fully utilizing Jade’s 3D rendering capabilities. This is a shame because 3D could enable much more sophisticated graphics on existing platforms without the need to change anything but software. In other words, auto manufacturers, gaming developers, and other consumer-electronics companies can breathe new life into existing designs without spending additional hardware engineering dollars since pre-existing clusters and displays with this capability already exist.

This white paper provides an overview of Fujitsu’s 3D GDC, and explains how to unlock the power of 3D with “Jade.” The ways that 3D significantly improves 2D user interfaces and the overall end-user experience are examined. Finally the paper describes how Fujitsu can help companies develop 3D user interfaces.

This information shows how Fujitsu can help companies develop in-house 3D competence that they can bring on existing and new designs.
