The EB GUIDE HMI product family enables a seamless, integrated HMI design process tailored for the automotive industry.

Challenges within the distributed HMI design in the automotive sector


  • Specifications within various tools and media formats

  • Repeated disposal and regeneration of previous work results

  • Lack of usability evaluations

  • Frequently late and hindered processing of change requests

  • Variety of tier 1 and OEM brands and variants

Integrated HMI design is added value for automotive manufacturers and suppliers


The complete EB GUIDE product family is a collection of software components and tools which are made for specifying a HMI model (graphical elements and speech dialog) and convert into a multi-modal HMI, running on an embedded environment system.

EB GUIDE stands for

  • Infotainment systems, cluster displays, color radios and navigation systems

  • Multi-modal display and operation concepts

  • Future generations of user interfaces with speech dialog

  • Concept studies and rapid prototypes

  • Automatic code generation for serial production

In short


Changes to the HMI model – testing and validation in simulations – implementation through code generation in the target system: with EB GUIDE, from one source.
