InViso used the power of Windows CE 3.0 to create a product that displays information exactly as a user would see it on a desktop monitor, with a small viewer that offers the equivalent of a 19-inch monitor when held a few inches from the eye. We needed a robust operating system with rich features and functionality, from solid driver support, easy synchronization with desktop applications, strong graphics capabilities, to a development environment that would help us get our concept to market quickly. Windows CE 3.0 delivered everything we needed. Benefits of Windows CE Windows CE 3.0 provided InViso with the ideal array of tools for designing the eCase product, such as Platform Builder 3.0, which has more than 200 components, including an Internet Explorer component. Advantages of Designing Embedded Devices with Windows CE Windows CE offers several features that facilitate the design of embedded devices.
Sophisticated graphics subsystem for SVGA and higher resolution displays.
We were able to leverage Windows CE 3.0's breadth and depth of graphical APIs for custom application development, creating a full desktop user interface in an embedded device, allowing a no-compromise viewing experience. Extensive driver support. Windows CE is on every vendor's list of supported platforms. Additionally, the support it provides for viewing all major file formats was key to the product design. Viewers are available for most of the files that are likely to be attached to e-mails, and end users want the ability to view these attachments as much as they want to see the mail text itself.
