The Future of 3D Mobile Devices? Want a ultra high resolution, 3D mobile device today?

Bringing High Quality 3D Content to mobile devices

Developer Considerations Biggest issues are not 3D graphics Scalability in production Hardware specific extensions Always provide standards based default behavior Lighting through textures Power considerations Target device release schedule

3D Hardware Development Kits - HW Types of 3D configurations Baseband processor Applications processor Integrated 3D IP with processor Discrete graphics chip SOC (system on chip); ‘game engine’ Hardware devkits form factors Apps processor development motherboard PC PCI interface card with display Form factor prototype Easy to get hardware, hard to get target environment

3D Hardware Development Kits - SW SDKs Windows desktop wrapper (not emulation) Cross compile libraries for target platforms Host PC is normally Windows Talk with target machine via ethernet or SD/MMC Raw alpha efforts – but improving 3D is one of the easier parts to port between platforms Audio, input, memory management, file system Always profile your apps, identifying bottlenecks is key to good performance
