Introduction to User-Interface Development with Unity

Learn about the Programmer Workflow

The Parallax Control System UI System utilizes Unity Software for deploying sophisticated front-end user interfaces. Known for its powerful cross-platform capabilities, Unity allows seamless deployment of interactive UIs to Android, iOS, macOS, PC, and other platforms, making it an ideal choice for versatile and dynamic control system interfaces.  Parallax Control System provides a plugin for Unity which enables secure communication via MQTT between the user-interface project and the back-end control system logic. The interconnection between Unity, Node-RED and the .NET console app is pre-established, eliminating the need for additional integration work. The Plugin allows UI programmers the ability to not only create the UI with drag and drop features, but also features a UI generation tool. This makes it an ideal choice for programmers looking for an all-in-one solution with minimal setup requirements.
