Khronos standards are fundamental to many of the technologies on display at KGC. If you manufacture develop multimedia content for games, DCC, CAD or mobile devices, you should attend Khronos Group’s DevU (Developer University) to learn about these new industry standards for royalty-free multimedia development:
- Applications driving next-generation handset requirements
- Opportunities opened up by innovation and standardization in graphics and mobile gaming
- Technological advances in multimedia handset technology
It’s been two years since Khronos Group has hosted a DevU in Seoul and you don’t want to miss your chance to attend this one. Here is a look at the rich content from our last “Developer University” in Seoul in 2007.
