7. © Copyright Khronos Group, 2006 - Page 7 OpenGL 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 Embedded Markets Desktop Markets

8. © Copyright Khronos Group, 2006 - Page 8 OpenGL 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 1.5/2.0 Architectural Foundation OpenGL ES 1.1/2.0 Functional Streamlining “OpenGL 3.0” Next generation functionality starting with OpenGL ES 2.0 streamlined core “OpenGL ES 3.0” Streamlining next generation functionality for embedded markets Inter-generational Roadmap Synergy

9. © Copyright Khronos Group, 2006 - Page 9 OpenGL 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
