Software supports OpenGL environments
Tilcon Software has extended it support for OpenGL environments to include QNX Software Systems' implementation of the OpenGL ES graphics API
OpenGL ES is a cross-platform API for building full-function 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems, including in-car infotainment systems and handheld devices. A well-defined subset of desktop OpenGL, OpenGL ES makes it easy and affordable to integrate advanced 3D graphics and games across an array of embedded platforms.
