SH-Mobile OpenGL Library
Renesas Technology has announced the development of the OpenGL ES Library 3-D graphics software for the company’s SH-Mobile high-end application processor. A development solution for multimedia applications for mobile phone systems, OpenGL ES Library will be available from December 2004 in Japan. As a specification for 3-D rendering, the OpenGL graphics API has practically attained the status of a worldwide standard for PCs and workstations.
The OpenGL specification has been codified by the Khronos Group, and OpenGL ES is a subset of it designed for the development of applications for embedded devices such as mobile phones. OpenGL ES is expected to become the standard for developing applications incorporating 3-D rendering functions for embedded devices, and support for it is therefore becoming indispensable.
