Partnerships

Rightware is proud to have developed partnerships with these influential companies and consortiums:

The Khronos Group is a member-funded industry consortium focused on the creation of open standard APIs to enable the authoring and playback of dynamic media on a wide variety of platforms and devices. All Khronos members are able to contribute to the development of Khronos API specifications, are empowered to vote at various stages before public deployment, and are able to accelerate the delivery of their cutting-edge 3D platforms and applications through early access to specification drafts and conformance tests. Khronos OpenGL ES API.

OpenGL ES is a royalty-free, cross-platform API for full-function 2D and 3D graphics on embedded systems - including consoles, phones, appliances and vehicles. It consists of well-defined subsets of desktop OpenGL, creating a flexible and powerful low-level interface between software and graphics acceleration. OpenGL ES includes profiles for floating-point and fixed-point systems and the EGL specification for portably binding to native windowing systems. OpenGL ES 1.X is for fixed function hardware and offers acceleration, image quality and performance.

Rightware is proud to be a Contributing Member of the Khronos Group. Kanzi user interface solution is built on top of OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenGL ES 2.0 APIs.

3DMarkMobile ES 1.1 and 3DMarkMobile ES 2.0 benchmarks by Rightware provide next generation OpenGL ES workloads and tests, helping further the development of devices implementing the technology. Our VGMark 1.1 benchmark has become the industry standard performance measurement and comparison tool for the OpenVG API.

Rightware's history with Khronos dates back to 2004 when, as part of Futuremark Corporation, the company joined the consortium. Our engineers continue to be actively involved with Khronos activities.

GENIVI (pronounced gen-ee-vee) is a non-profit industry alliance committed to driving the broad adoption of an In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) reference platform. GENIVI will accomplish this by aligning requirements, delivering reference implementations, offering certification programs and fostering a vibrant open source IVI community. GENIVI's work will result in shortened development cycles, quicker time-to-market, and reduced costs for companies developing IVI equipment and software.

The GENIVI Alliance was officially launched in March, 2009 heralding a new era of cooperation among automakers, suppliers and technology providers in the interest of streamlining the development and support of In-Vehicle Infotainment or IVI products and services.

IVI is a rapidly growing and evolving field that encompasses automotive infotainment products and services including music, news, Internet and multimedia, navigation and location, and telephony. Automobile manufacturers and their suppliers must develop, test, deploy and support these IVI products and services across multiple automobile models and generations, which is becoming increasingly complex and expensive as the rate of innovation and number of applications continues to expand exponentially.

GENIVI is leading the way forward by developing a reusable, open source IVI platform.

Rightware is the Associate Member of GENIVI.
