A User Experience is not defined to exist in a single form factor any more. It is expected to be able to flow from one device to another, seemingly adapting itself to each interaction paradigm, and yet retain branding, mood and overall look and feel across multiple platforms.

The guys at QNX have been doing such great stuff with the QNX Concept Car, we wanted to draw our reader’s attention to the fact that, “under the hood” and so not publicized, the awesome entertainment system and the instrument cluster in the Mercedes are done with Qt 5 (QML2 to be precise) on top of […]
