GL Studio is the first User Interface tool that offers the best of both worlds while providing superior performance, safety, or reliability. The GL Studio designer enhances collaboration between the two user interface development roles – the UI designer and the software programmer. For UI designers, GL Studio is quick and easy to use. For programmers, GL Studio is flexible and accessible.
GL Studio enables the real-time creation of interactive 2D and 3D user interface content through a WYSIWYG designer, eliminating the need to write cumbersome low-level graphical code.
