Adobe After Effects can replace Flash on mobile devices, says YOUi Labs
Developers can implement their design vision for natural user interface
when After Effects is paired with YOUi Labs' uSwish
OTTAWA, Nov. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Adobe announced last week that it will no
longer adapt Flash Player for mobile devices to new browser, OS version
or device configurations. In response,YOUi Labs, developer and marketer of Natural User Interface (NUI) technology and
services, today announced that, in its view, Adobe After Effects will
replace Flash as the NUI-creating tool of choice when paired with the
uSwish user interface framework.
Implementing UI design without compromise has long been a challenge for
application developers. The final product that goes to market is rarely
as the designer envisioned it. Trying to communicate the subtleties of
a designer's vision - through gestures, animation and three-dimensional
moving parts - is a significant challenge for UI developers because
they've traditionally been limited by the abilities of the
application-development platform. Flash provided an acceptable
development environment, but applications built in this environment
fell down on execution because the supporting platform was unable to
perform.
Adobe After Effects is an industry-standard application designed for
animation and compositing for motion graphics and visual effects. YOUi
Labs' UI framework uSwish brings next-generation 2D and 3D experience
to consumer devices. uSwish reduces time to market and provides
competitive advantage to consumer electronics and cellular phone
companies. When paired with the uSwish UI framework, After Effects
becomes the ideal environment for designing an NUI. Designers can work
without constraints, confident that every aspect will make its way into
the final product. The gap between designer and developer is finally
bridged.
"The ability for designs to go from concept in Adobe After Effects
directly into a mobile UI is a game changer for our customers and
design partners," said Jason Flick, CEO of YOUi Labs. "We believe we are the only UI platform capable of this
integration as a result of our team re-thinking the entire approach to
NUIs and how they are architected."
The pairing of After Effects and uSwish allows designers to get the
result they want. After Effects avoids inaccuracies and trial and error
during implementation, ultimately reducing project costs.

After Effects, view YOUi Labs demo on YouTube or view the presentation recently given at UXCamp Ottawa by YOUi Labs' VP of research and
development, Andrew Emmons.
