mobile phone Hooked OpenVG

Vector Graphics Acceleration Without the Need
for Special Hardware

Conformance and Speed on your Existing GPU
OpenVG™ is an emerging standard for 2D vector graphic, bitmap and font rendering on mobile devices.  It is essentially a companion API for OpenGL® ES, the mobile industry standard for 3D graphics.  Both standards are managed by the Khronos Group.

Standards are good, of course, but a graphics standard is only valuable if it's fast enough to be useful.  In practice, that often requires hardware acceleration.

Hooked Wireless offers a way to accelerate OpenVG without the need for special OpenVG hardware.  We have layered OpenVG on top of OpenGL ES, enabling accelerated vector graphics on existing 3D hardware.

Now, you can have the best of both worlds - high-speed vector and bitmap manipulation, with full API conformance, without the cost of OpenVG silicon.

Hooked OpenVG is one of the very few VG-on-ES drivers that can achieve full conformance without sacrificing speed.  It supports the both the full 1.0 and 1.1 feature sets.
