Nvidia announces cell phone developer program
Nvidia announces developer program and software development kit for 3D content on cell phones and other handhelds.
Nvidia has today announced that it is looking to bring 3D content to cell phones through the introduction of its developer program for hardware-accelerated 3D applications on cell phones and other handhelds. The Santa Clara-based company has also announced the immediate availability of its handheld software development kit (SDK).
"Cell phone users are becoming increasingly sophisticated in how they use their phones. Carriers looking for innovative ways to offer their customers new services are already integrating features such as camera phones and video phones," said Mark Daly, vice president of content development at Nvidia. "The obvious next step in this genesis is to bring the type of compelling 3D content that already exists on other platforms to the handheld market."
Nvidia's handheld SDK allows established game developers access to Nvidia technology so that they might familiarize themselves with the architecture and be in a position to secure development projects for Nvidia-based cell phones in the future. Any developers interested in signing up for the handheld program should visit the Nvidia booth at the Game Developers Conference in San Jose this week or sign up at the company's developer Web site.
