Futuremark Announces Groundbreaking Automotive Demo for Audi at NVISION

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) SAN JOSE, CA, August 25 / MARKET WIRE/ --

NVISION -- Futuremark, creators of the industry
standard benchmarking software for
graphics performance for OpenGL ES and DirectX APIs, has created a
demonstration for Audi 's In-Car Graphics
System future concept to be shown for the first time at NVISION in San Jose. It delivers a
fully rendered car dashboard and all instruments shown in a 3D view,
including 3D navigation using stunning and realistic effects and views as
well as a 3D car infotainment system with vehicle info and cool 3D
environmental controls rendered in real-time for on-road Automotive usage.

"We are delighted to work with Audi due to their professional expertise in
the car industry," said Petri Talala, Vice President and General Manager of
the Handheld and Embedded Group at Futuremark Oy. "Audi is a leader in this
field with sophisticated, real-time rendered and high quality content
available for future infotainment systems, and being able to have our
graphics engine experts and artists contribute to this effort is very
special for Futuremark."

In-Car graphics systems are evolving rapidly with an increasing amount of
digital instrumentation used inside of automotive designs. Khronos APIs
such as OpenGL and OpenGL ES will be widely adopted for rendering backend
of digital instrumentation. With this new automotive demo, Futuremark is
showing the flexibility of both its OpenGL ES engines and its art pipelines
that were used to deliver this project on an entirely new platform to
Audi's delight. The Engines and Pipeline Tools used to create the demo are
all available for licensing directly from Futuremark. Also offered are
custom demo services for Automotive companies who want to show off
tomorrow's User Interface and Digital 3D designs for Automobiles today.
Futuremark has an upcoming automotive benchmark that is in development
which will utilize real-world use cases such as car dashboard, info-system,
and navigation workloads based on OpenGL ES 1.x and ES 2.0.
