ATLANTA, GA. — June 18, 2009 - Centrafuse, a leading developer of software tools for embedded devices, announced it is creating a University Program to help grow the knowledge base for future developers and designers in the automotive Connected Car space at the Maker Faire in San Mateo California May 22nd & 23rd 2010.
Participating with Intel inside the Ford American Journey 2.0 display, Maker Faire is the world’s largest DIY festival with attendance of 95,000+ celebrating Engineering and Science projects in the Do-it-Yourself (DIY) Market.
The Centrafuse University Program is targeted at Researchers, PHD’s, Professors and Students who are interested in projects developing safer Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) as well as new applications for the Connected Car environment. The program is being launched Fall semester September 2010 and will provide university participants with Centrafuse Auto software, the SDK, and instructions for creating new graphical user interface (GUI) concepts or new applications.
“The University Program allows researchers and students to develop new concepts and ideas at the typical cost of a text book” said Jim Mazurek VP Business Development at Centrafuse. “By providing this low cost tool set and software we are encouraging students to not only develop new applications, but to do so in a safer more user friendly manner that minimizes driver distraction and eyes off the road.”
