What is VixML?

VixML is a simple, XML-based tool that makes it easy for interactive designers like you to create world-class iPhone® content for the Viximo App Network—in a matter of hours and with minimal coding. Built natively for the iPhone, VixML allows you to take advantage of the device's best features, like high-performance graphics, multi-touch interactivity and a built-in accelerometer, so you can create the coolest content out there—effortlessly.

VixML makes it easy to:
  • Render your still images and animations at 30 fps
  • Scale, rotate, blend, colorize and position graphical elements in real-time
  • Tie events to common iPhone inputs like tilting, shaking, tapping and even blowing on the mic
  • Create and animate objects using powerful particle effects and ballistic physics behaviors
  • Add a background soundtrack and rich sound effects

The VixML toolkit includes an editor and simulation engine for building and previewing your designs. VixML was built by Viximo and is patent-pending.
