Abstract:
Of Late, mobile devices with OpenGL ES compliant graphics processors have become all pervasive. However popular platforms like Android do not support any form of power efficient 3D content loading, animation or 3D interaction even though the entire user interface system runs OpenGL ES under the hood. In this work, we present a light weight, power efficient rendering pipeline for enabling new innovative use cases of 3D data by allowing art directed animation and effects created by an artist/UI designer. We utilize the open spec Collada format to seamlessly incorporate 3D geometry into user interface elements, skeletal animated visualizations and interesting lock screen effects in a lightweight manner.
