LINZ, May 22, 2026 - Candera GmbH announces the release of Candera CGI Studio 3.16, the latest version of its HMI development software. The new release strengthens Candera CGI Studio as a powerful platform for automotive HMI development, supporting teams from design and validation to deployment across modern cockpit, dashboard, infotainment, and embedded display applications.

With Candera CGI Studio 3.16, Candera continues to address the growing complexity of automotive user interfaces. The release combines smarter workflows, AI-assisted support, enhanced 3D capabilities, and broader platform flexibility to help development teams create sophisticated HMIs more efficiently across vehicle platforms, hardware targets, and application scenarios.

"With Candera CGI Studio 3.16, HMI development gets smarter and faster, combining AI-assisted tools, flexible workflows, and broad platform support. This helps automotive development teams manage increasing interface complexity while bringing modern cockpit, dashboard, and infotainment concepts to life more efficiently," says Roland WINKLER, Senior Product Development Manager at Candera.
