The Khronos Group - Media Authoring and Acceleration

The Khronos Group is a not for profit industry consortium creating open standards for the authoring and acceleration of parallel computing, graphics and dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices. All Khronos members are able to contribute to the development of Khronos API specifications, are empowered to vote at various stages before public deployment, and are able to accelerate the delivery of their cutting-edge 3D platforms and applications through early access to specification drafts and conformance tests.

Hsinchu Taiwan DevU 2012

For the last ten years, Khronos open standards have been the foundation of a multi-billion dollar industry. Khronos Group executives and founders are excited to visit Taipei to talk about how these Khronos APIs let developers tap into cutting edge graphics and media processing on platforms ranging from high-end workstations to mobile phones. This all-day session will give you up-to-the-minute updates on OpenGL, OpenCL, and COLLADA; and handheld graphics standards such as OpenGL ES and OpenVG. This invitation is to Programmers, Engineers, and OEMs of PC and Mobile devices to learn how to use these APIs.

Taipei Taiwan KITE 2012

Over the last few years of outreach to academia, the Khronos executive team have repeatedly heard requests for regional support to help standardize and localize Khronos educational efforts. In response to this demand, we have created KITE (Khronos Institute of Training and Education) Chapters. KITE chapters will provide a framework for localized leadership positions within the KITE program. We are now issuing a call for participation in search of Chapter leaders from the academic field, corporate sponsors, and others interested in supporting or leading the deployment of these regional groups. If you are interested in participating in your local KITE chapter, or would like more information, please visit the KITE site or contact .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

5th International Augmented Reality Standards Meeting

This international meeting of experts provides a single forum for representatives of all standards bodies and the contributors to AR standards development processes to meet and discuss their activities and progress, and to advance new specifications more rapidly than is possible without face-to-face interactions.

The meeting will permit experts to:

  • Discuss current technical solutions which have been proposed by and to the community,
  • Refine and update the landscape (mapping) of all standards initiatives and activities of impact to the future of open AR, and
  • Identify the remaining gaps in standards for widespread AR adoption.

SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 Singapore

Following our successful participation at SIGGRAPH Asia 2011 in Hong Kong, the Khronos Group is excited to demonstrate and educate about Khronos APIs at SIGGRAPH Asia 2012 in Singapore.  This year we will offer many Khronos “DevU” educational sessions co-located with SIGGRAPH Asia educational sessions, and Khronos members will join together in numerous demonstration suites to offer a large number of exciting demos on the SIGGRAPH trade show floor.  SIGGRAPH Asia Singapore is an ideal opportunity for international standards bodies such as Khronos to effectively outreach to the Asian graphics community and keep the information flowing. We look forward to seeing you there!
