VeriSilicon announced GLTiny on October 28, a programming model for using its Nano OpenGL ES graphics processors in smartwatches, smart glasses and other wearable devices.
The company said GLTiny combines a simplified programming interface with a lightweight driver. It is intended to reduce the memory and processing demands associated with adding three-dimensional graphics to small devices.
GLTiny supports the glTF format for 3D models, allowing developers to import content and render it through the new interface. Listed features include lighting, skeletal animation, morph targets and controls for switching animation clips or changing playback speed.
The model also supports effects such as Gaussian blur and ripples. VeriSilicon said it can work with its existing VGLite vector-graphics driver to combine vector graphics and 3D models within one frame.
The announcement describes the supplier's software capabilities and efficiency goals. It provides no independently tested battery-life improvement or named consumer device shipping with GLTiny.
