ORLANDO, Fla. - June 5, 2013 - PRLog -- The DiSTI Corporation, a leading provider of advanced high fidelity human machine interfaces, announces the release of Lumen, GL Studio’s new runtime engine. Now available for download, GL Studio powered by Lumen provides enhanced development features and increased capabilities that are in demand by today’s software UI developers.

Officially unveiled at I/ITSEC 2012, the Lumen runtime engine is DiSTI’s latest advancement in human machine interface development technology, allowing GL Studio users to expand their platform reach and interface functionality.
