Ultra Mobile WILLCOM D4 Handsets Use YAPPA's UI Solution

(Business News & Technology News, 15 Apr 2008)

WILLCOM Inc. has selected YAPPA Corp.'s user interface solution for its Ultra Mobile WILLCOM D4 handset. The mobile device includes Intel's next generation mobile device platform equipped with Intel's Centrino Atom processor technology, Microsoft's latest OS Windows Vista Home Premium with Service Pack 1, Sharp's 5in wide LCD, in addition to YAPPA's dynamic user interface.

YAPPA's Spin UI Effect Engine (2D Effects Engine designed for multiple platforms) together with the UI design have been selected to deliver an attractive and intuitive user interface experience. The UI "AQUATIC" developed for WILLCOM has been designed taking the concept of the ocean, and by selecting the menu, the menu layers align itself with the layers of the ocean. Once the icon from the sea level layer is selected, the icon sinks down into the ocean to the second layer, and then moving down to the third layer. Spin UI enables seamless movement particularly when the icon drops downward. Additionally, users can trace the touch panel for screen transitioning delivering a unique interface. As a result, users are able to get a more intuitive feel by freely moving between layers of the menu. Furthermore, the UI developed with algorithms incorporates physics and offers an exciting, emotion-filled user experience by having pleasant sound effects accompany the user operation.
