Vision & Perspective® - Two Visualization Modules to Choose From
Ignition has two visualization modules: Vision and Perspective. Vision has been around for years and is in extensive use in just about every industry. Perspective is Ignition's newest visualization module. It leverages HTML5 to allow users to build mobile-responsive industrial applications that run natively on any screen. While both Vision and Perspective support desktops, HMIs, and control room displays, Perspective also offers visualization and control on any mobile device.

“My favorite thing with Vision is the vector graphics, being able to draw paths and being able to use that to create really clean graphics.”
