Good News for OpenGL

Maybe this is old news at this point, but I think it warrants wider attention. Vladimir Vukićević writes on new developments in the OpenGL world revealed recently at GDC.

Highlights include:

  • The Khronos Group, who currently maintain the embeddable OpenGL ES standard, will be taking over management of the OpenGL proper from the slow-moving OpenGL ARB.
  • The PS3 will use a variant of OpenGL ES as its 3D API.
  • Under intense pressure from IHVs, Microsoft has backpedaled—OpenGL will be a “first-class citizen” on Windows Vista.
