Debuted at GDC 2017, CircuitVR is our latest mobile VR demo showcasing multiview and foveated rendering, while exploring the inner workings of a mobile phone and seeing how the various components work…

Foveated rendering allows us to use our knowledge of human perception to save significant amounts of computational power.

Today we're launching the ARM Mali-C71 image signal processor (ISP) for automotive applications, the first product in our Mali Camera family.

With the appearance of consumer grade eye tracking devices, foveated rendering is getting increasingly popular. Let's understand what foveated rendering really is.

This week saw the day that myself and my fellow phone geeks have been waiting for, the launch of the much-anticipated Samsung Galaxy S8. The successor to the awesome Galaxy S7, which was named Best Smartphone…

Gone are the days when gaming was the sole domain of your PC or console, these days just about everyone with a phone has gamed on the go in some form or another. The earliest iterations of mobile gaming…

The talk shows the Vulkan benefits in terms of performance, energy consumption and battery life. The experience of the Unity team in implementing the Vulkan renderer is discussed.

In this blog we describe the new simplified steps to build an OpenGL ES Unity application with MGD support. We also describe the steps to build a Vulkan Unity application with MGD support.

With Unreal Engine 4.15, Epic introduced the ability to directly enable profiling on mobile devices from the editor. In a previous blog article, we discussed how to enable this feature on pre 4.15 engine…

You would have heard a lot about computer vision and machine learning recently, important technologies that are playing a major role in making your mobile handset more intelligent, personal, and useful…
