Cross Platform 3D Rendering and Animation Engine for Mobile Tablet Devices

Abstract

Tablet computers are surpassing desktop and laptop PC combined in market share and becoming an important medium for delivering digital content. They are also equipped with powerful hardware that are capable of rendering high definition 3D graphics which we have seen in the abundance of apps developed for all three of the mainstream tablet platforms: Apple iOS, Google Android and Microsoft Windows. However, delivering cross platform 3D content integrated with each platform's native GUI framework has been challenging because of the non-trivial difference in their development tools. We propose a novel solution to address this issue base on open standard and open source projects.
