March 20, 2006 -- Imagination Technologies, a leader in embedded graphics technology for mobile devices, is showing off the latest content and devices enabled by its PowerVR MBX graphics-core family at The GDC Expo in San Jose from March 22nd-24th 2006.
Imagination Technologies is partnering with the Khronos Group to demonstrate the compelling OpenGL ES and OpenVG content already on PowerVR MBX on booth 1632 at GDC.
Imagination Technologies will also be presenting an insight into optimizing 3D graphics on Texas Instruments' (TI) OMAP 2420 and 2430 applications processors on Tuesday, March 21, from 5pm to 5:45pm at the Empire Room, Fairmont Hotel, San Jose.
The PowerVR gaming platform delivers the performance needed to port console class games onto today's mobile handsets, delivering massive triangle and fill rates along with full 3D features exceeding the OpenGL ES 1.x (PowerVR MBX) and 2.x (PowerVR SGX) standards.
PowerVR Insiders don't just get access to the highest performance, most widely available gaming platform targeting the most content-capable new 3D handsets. They also get the tools and support required to create or port their content and PowerVR will continue to push the boundaries of features and performance so that games will always look better and play better on a PowerVR platform.
PowerVR's personalised developer program puts developers directly in touch with PowerVR engineers and makes sure they have the resources needed to produce leading-edge content. The PowerVR SDK includes all the tools, technical documentation, white papers, problem solving tips and tricks, FAQs, and sample programs required to enable advanced mobile 3D.
The PowerVR SDK is available now for OpenGL 1.x for desktop PC (Emulation), Pocket PC (Dell Axim X50v), WinCE 5 (Dell Axim X51v), ARM Versatile Platform (Linux & Symbian), Texas Instruments' OMAP2420/2430 (Linux & Symbian), Freescale iMX31 (Linux).
Imagination Technologies, one of the world's top ten IP companies (source: Gartner), provides PowerVR IP to partners including Centrality Communications and Freescale, Intel, Philips, Renesas, Samsung, Sunplus and Texas Instruments.
PowerVR MBX, which exceeds OpenGL ES 1.x requirements, delivers massive triangle and fill rates along with full 3D features such as skinning, FSAA, curved surfaces, per-pixel lighting and texture compression.
PowerVR SGX, the new generation PowerVR shader based graphics and video technology family, is part of the PowerVR Series5 scalable and fully programmable shader graphics and video core family. With state-of-the-art support for 2D and 3D PowerVR SGX has an industry-leading feature set that exceeds OGL 2.0 shader and Microsoft Vertex and Pixel Shader Model 3 requirements.
