COLLADA gains strong Momentum since joining Khronos one year agoUsed by all major authoring tools as 3D asset exchange standardAdopted as an import format by Google Earth Essential to OpenGL and OpenGL ES for FX Framework and authoring

Defining a complete native API set for handheld media applicationsLike DirectX for cell phones – except cross-platform and an open standard

Gaining strong support from Wireless Operators – Vodafone joins KhronosIncludes OpenGL ES for 2D/3D graphics

Khronos membership close to 120 – Apple, Google, Dell and S3 joinAll active members of OpenGL ARB have joined / joining

Intel and Samsung have seats on Board of Promoters – Apple will soonKhronos now driving dynamic media standards for embedded and desktop

OpenGL ARB has voted to pass control of OpenGL to KhronosOpenGL 2.1 specification released here at SIGGRAPHgDEBugger Academic Program – free OpenGL tools for academia

OpenGL in KhronosOpenGL in Khronos• Can synergize resources and outreach- Common Conformance tests, marketing and web-site, tool chains etc.

• API collaboration- OpenGL, OpenGL ES, COLLADA, OpenKODE (EGL and debugging), OpenVG

• OpenGL and OpenGL ES Working Groups will remain independent- Both groups will be able to make decisions that best serve their own markets- OpenGL Working Group for desktop graphics- OpenGL ES Working Group for embedded graphics

Next Generation architectural firepower

Market feedback on streamlining functionality

Momentum - hundreds of millions of OpenGL ES devices

Integrated Authoring and Effects Framework

OpenGL Roadmap SynergyOpenGL Roadmap Synergy• OpenGL is now foundation of coherent family of market-focused APIs- Strong roadmap synergy between OpenGL, OpenGL ES and COLLADA

• “OpenGL 3.0” could use OpenGL ES 2.0 design for lean and mean core- Add nexgen performance, shaders (geometry, sample, uniforms), tool integration, object model

• Both APIs can share same conformance test foundation- Significant recent investment in OpenGL ES conformance tests by Khronos

OpenGL 2.1 Released at SIGGRAPHOpenGL 2.1 Released at SIGGRAPH• Enhancements to OpenGL’s advanced programmable pipeline- Backwards compatible with all previous versions of OpenGL - All applications will continue to work with no modifications

• Pixel Buffer Objects - Fast texture and pixel copies between frame buffer and buffer objects in GPU memory

• Texture images specified in standard sRGB color space - Enhanced application color management flexibility

• Increase the flexibility of shader programming - Non-square matrix support- Support for arrays as first-class objects- Fragment position query in shaders using Point Sprites- Invariant attribute for variables to enhance shader code reliability

OpenGL SC – Safety CriticalOpenGL SC – Safety Critical• Super small subset of OpenGL for safety critical applications- Enables safety certification for markets such as avionics displays – e.g. DO-178B

OpenGL SC removes functionality not needed in cockpit displays:

format conversions and color manipulations, blending

combinations etc.

OpenGL SC includes functionality needed by legacy applications in this specialized

market: display lists
