OpenGL ES 1.0 Specification Released by Khronos Group

The Khronos Group announced that it has ratified the OpenGL ES 1.0 royalty-free open standard for advanced 2D and 3D graphics in embedded systems, and that the API specification is available for free download.

The OpenGL ES standard defines subset profiles of OpenGL to enable small-footprint embedded applications with advanced graphics capabilities. The OpenGL ES specification has been developed by many industry-leading companies that are members of Khronos, together with the full support of the OpenGL Architecture Review Board (ARB); the governing body for the OpenGL desktop standard. The Khronos Group is dedicated to the development and deployment of both OpenGL ES and OpenML; royalty-free, open standard APIs that enable authoring and playback of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices.
