GUI solution for novice coder - Medical education Ipad applications

Unity Engine
1

My company wishes for me to explore the creation of Ipad apps within the unity framework. I come from a game-art development background with a little bit of coding experience. The apps would be focused on medical education, not gaming. There may be limited implementation of rendering 3D elements (medical models) within the applications, but not in a traditional gaming sense. I am looking for a solution (a library or what have you - cost is not an issue if it provides value for my needs) to streamline my GUI creation. The GUI will really be a large part of the application, so I am looking for something with robust capabilities while also being as intuitive to use as possible. I consider myself a novice coder, so I am really looking for a library which will minimize the coding I must do from scratch - but I am comfortable editing code which already exists to suit my needs.

Any feedback on possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

I recommend Daikon Forge GUI: https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/#/content/10438

It’s all visual and very well designed, with ample video tutorials. If you find that you do need to do something in code, it provides a code-generation wizard. (And I see it’s on sale right now, although for a funded company it’s well worth the retail price.)

The “elder statesmen” of third-party GUI systems are NGUI and EZGUI. In my experience, they’re quite a bit more unwieldy. But there are some add-ons that purport to convert Photoshop layouts into NGUI widgets.

FastGUI for NGUI (Unity Asset Store - The Best Assets for Game Making) looks like it’s discontinued. Don’t get it.
