Strategic Insights

— 1 min read

NVIDIA Corporation, the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, has announced its Developer Program for hardware accelerated 3D applications on cell phones and other handheld devices. The immediate availability of the handheld software development kit (SDK) will enable game developers and middleware providers to drive the proliferation of 3D content onto the cell phone platform. NVIDIA will work closely with these developers to take advantage of the unique features of NVIDIA media processors.

The NVIDIA(R) handheld SDK is designed to allow established game developers to access NVIDIA technology and familiarize themselves with the architecture. This will enable them to bid for and secure development projects for NVIDIA-based cell phones. The SDK includes a library of code samples and a custom framework for handheld development in Microsoft(R) Visual Studio(R).NET. Developers who join NVIDIA's handheld developer program will also have access to NVIDIA libraries, including the Company's OpenGL ES driver library, fixed point math library, and the NVIDIA DXT texture loading library.
