The Client

Infocast is Hong Kong’s biggest financial information services company with customers spread across ASEAN.

Business Need

Infocast needed a crisp, visual way of depicting complex data sets of real-time stock prices. The information was to be shown in a planetary model with the Hang Seng Index as the Sun. The stocks would be represented by planets and the orbits would indicate the percentage change in stock value.

Neev Solution

In order to provide a high-quality user experience without compromising on application performance, Neev integrated OpenGL ES framework for graphics with native iPhone framework. The graphics module, which supports over 1000 stocks and works independently, greatly accentuates the user experience. Neev also enabled traders to easily access information about a particular stock through search and direct touch. A watch list was provided to personalize the stock information, making the application a one-stop shop for all trade-related information on the Hang Sang Index. The information can also be viewed in multiple languages. Presently an option of English or Mandarin Language is provided.
