Streamline Your Consumer Electronics Development with Powerful Cross-Platform Tools
Easily create a world of high-performance 2D and 3D UI applications for consumer electronics such as smart home appliances, wearables, headless devices, companion apps, and more.
Empower Your Products with Qt as They Have
Cut Down Time-to-market with Integrated End-to-end Software Tooling
Break down silos and optimize your consumer electronics development process with a streamlined design-develop-test workflow.
Encompassing all stages of the product lifecycle—from UI design to development and testing—Qt product offering lets your teams build your software upon a single codebase. With Qt, UI/UX designers, 2D/3D technical artists, software architects, developers, and testing engineers can collaborate on the same source of truth through a unified set of tools, enabling fast error detection and rapid iterations while leaving no margin for misunderstanding across teams.
Scale over Appliance Types to Deliver the Ultimate Experience to Your Growing Audience
Expand and complement your core offering with new devices and added functionality to deliver a uniform user experience and a consistent look-and-feel across your entire consumer electronics product portfolio.
Qt applications are by design platform agnostics and can be ported to different hardware, operating system, and display form factors with minimal effort. Coding once and deploying everywhere implies reduced costs and time-to-market, independence from hardware suppliers, and scalability across hardware solutions—from high-end microprocessors to low-end microcontrollers—for reduced BOM. With Qt, you can let your teams focus on what really matters—the ultimate user experience—and rely on the UI framework to take care of the platform integration.
Simplify Consumer Electronics Software Maintenance with a Unique Codebase
Standardize the application’s functionality across devices, models, and even brands to enhance the user experience, performance, and ease of maintenance.
Building and maintaining a full-fledged consumer electronics product portfolio can be straining and time-consuming. By decoupling the application logic from the UI’s look-and-feel, the Qt framework empowers the broadest reusability of the core components and their straightforward customization across different product lines. Your developers can optimize the core functionalities once and for all, while UX designers tailor the experience to the different electronics models, markets, and demographic groups for the highest return on investment.
Ensure Seamless Connectivity across Appliances for a Comprehensive IoT System
Exploit ready-made solutions for cloud connectivity and smooth machine-to-machine communication to deliver a world of smart devices at your fingertips.
The Qt framework provides connectivity libraries for Bluetooth, Bluetooth low-energy, MQTT, NFC, Wi-Fi, and more, transforming consumer electronics appliances into smart IoT devices that can be operated remotely and seamlessly interact with each other. Connectivity enables new scenarios of operability that improve the quality of our daily lives such as smart home automation.
