Technology Innovator startup seeks Graphical User Interface (GUI)
for its new Biotech/Pharmaceutical product, the BioRyx™ 200
System.
The Customer
 ARRYX, Inc., a Chicago-based
company, develops and manufactures nanophotonics components. These
products are made using our proprietary holographic optical trapping
("HOT") technology, which is fundamental to microminiaturization
across all industries. The Arryx technology is an optically-based
platform in much the same way that current integrated circuit
technology is an electronics-based platform.
The Problem
 Arryx technology can be utilized as the key enabling component
in a astounding number of applications. Many of these different
applications have implementation methods specific to the applications'
users or to their industry. Arryx sought to build an interface
between their technology and users in the biological and pharmaceutical
areas that intuitively provided a direct pathway between users'
goals and the technology's power. Arryx needed software experts
who are comfortable and effective at communicating with scientists
and engineers, who understand the needs and requirements of
a seamless user interface, and who are adept at project planning
as well as rigorous project management.
The SSI Solution
 SSI Software Engineers took on the task of building a custom
Windows based Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the BioRyx™
200 System. SSI's experience in building custom Windows GUIs for
other types of industries was key in helping Arryx through a smooth
development process for their BioRyx™ 200 system. The BioRyx™
interface integrates the manipulation of interactive graphical
objects that are overlaid on real time video and simultaneously
coordinated with stored video. The manipulation of optical traps
was made intuitive by this integration of historical information,
current information, and the users' yet-to-be-implemented commands
to the system. This integration gives the BioRyx™ user a
unique experience in placing Holographic Optical Traps. By greatly
simplifying and automating the previous command prompt interfaces
and special mathematics procedures, non-specialists can quickly
learn to use the BioRyx™ 200. This opens the easy use of
HOT to a broad array of scientists, engineers, and technicians
who would otherwise face large barriers to using it in their work.<
Arryx is so pleased with the quality of work from SSI, they have
enlisted SSI's help on continuing releases for their BioRyx™
line.
