OpenGL 1.x / OpenGL ES 1.1
Embedded OpenGL 1.x / OpenGL ES 1.1 Libraries and Drivers
ALT Software provides high performance embedded OpenGL drivers for embedded computing platforms that employ hardware accelerated graphics. Tuned to our customers’ specific hardware and software configurations, our drivers surpass Windows desktop commercial OpenGL driver benchmarks by up to 50%. These OpenGL drivers are currently used to drive 3D graphics and to enhance the quality of 2D graphics output in commercial and military aircraft, automotive navigation and infotainment systems, in-car instrument clusters, industrial controls, and medical devices. Our OpenGL 1.x and OpenGL ES 1.1 drivers support a variety of system configurations. ALT Software also offers system integration services, comprehensive technical support, and custom configuration support to assist clients with integrating the driver and adding custom functionality when required.
ALT Software's OpenGL display drivers are used in the HSD, MDI and Heads-up displays in the Boeing F/A-18.
