Graphics, Gaming, and VR blog

The Ice Cave demo is a Unity demo released by ARM® Ecosystem. With this demo we wanted to show that it is possible to achieve high quality visual content on current mobile devices powered by ARM Cortex…

In my previous blog post I explained some of the key concepts of Vulkan and how we implemented them in our internal graphics engine. In this post I will go into a bit more detail about how we implemented…

At ARM we care about game developers. So we compiled the ARM Guide for Unity Developers of best practises and techniques to get the most from an ARM mobile platform.

Arguably the most high profile Mali powered device to hit the hands of customers this year is the Samsung Galaxy S7. Launched at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, the Galaxy S7 represents Samsung…

If you have been following Vulkan lately, you will have heard about SPIR-V, the new shading language format used in Vulkan. We decided early on to standardize our internal engine on SPIR-V.

The Vulkan API released in Feb’16 by Khronos is the new generation graphics and compute API designed to work across all platform types from desktops to mobile and embedded. One of the key features is that…

ARM® partner Deepoon recently launched a brand new, all-in-one virtual reality headset powered by ARM. Based on an Exynos 7420 chipset, the Deepoon M2 features an octa core ARM Cortex®-A57 & Cortex-A53…

It’s so humbling to see how many Arm partners are keen to share the stories of what they do with Arm and how Mali GPUs enable them to create bigger and better devices, applications and games every single…

Day one of GDC 2016 has flown by in a whirlwind so I’m pausing for a minute to pop down my highlights. As a relative newby to the graphics industry this is my first time at GDC (and in the US!) so I’m…

In this blog we show how to combine different types of reflections. We also show importance of rendering stereo reflections in VR and provide an implementation of stereo reflections in Unity.

Ever wondered if Virtual Reality will really take off this time around, or why it never managed to before? VR is big news all over again and everyone’s talking about its possibilities and all the innovative…

Everyone wants the best of both worlds. We don’t want to pay a fortune for a phone, but we do still expect it to do everything we need it to. Whether that’s taking crystal clear pictures to share on social…

Welcome back to the third post in my Virtual Reality (VR) blog series. We’ve already discussed the reasoning behind our interest in VR as a major driving force for graphics development, but even in the…

Last week, at MWC, ARM® partner Omate® announced their first standalone smartwatch designed especially for kids, with their brand-new Omate Wherecom K3. Featuring a 3G Dual-core 1GHz ARM Cortex®-A7 and…

This is a very exciting time for Graphics. Today marked the release of Vulkan, which is the latest graphics API to be developed by the Khronos group. It has been completely redesigned from the ground up…

In this blog we share with developers our experience of porting a graphics engine to the Vulkan API. The engine we decided to port to Vulkan has already had support for various other standard APIs.

Back to Speeding-up Fast Fourier Transform Mixed-Radix on Mobile ARM Mali GPU by means of OpenCL - Part 1Back to Speeding-up Fast Fourier Transform Mixed-Radix on Mobile ARM Mali GPU by means of OpenCL…

Built for Modern Mobile SystemsARM, along with other key industry members, made a lot of progress since the Vulkan announcement by the Khronos Group back in early 2015 and we’re now in the final stage…

This is the first article of a series that will focus on the implementation of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) using the mixed-radix method on Mobile ARM Mali GPU by means of OpenCL.

Yesterday ARM introduced its highest performing and most power efficient display processor technology, the ARM® Mali™-DP650, which targets next generation premium and mass market devices.  The Mali-DP650…
