Graphics core supports OpenVG API
Imagination Technologies is demonstrating PowerVR support for the OpenVG API on the company's stand at the 3GSM World Congress 2006 in Barcelona, Spain until 16th February 2006
PowerVR MBX, the leading mobile graphics acceleration solution, offers full acceleration for OpenVG, achieving many times the performance of software implementations with significantly reduced power consumption. OpenVG is an industry-standard, cross-platform API that provides a low-level hardware acceleration interface for vector graphics libraries such as SVG.
