Nvidia and Google have come together to showcase how powerful Google’s new Android L operating system and Nvidia’s Tegra K1 chipset can be, presenting console quality visuals on a tablet platform.
A major focus for Android L is gaming, aided by Google’s new Android Extension Pack (AEP) which is part of the L release. AEP extends GL ES with “state-of-the art graphics capabilities to support PC and console-caliber games on Android,” said Nvidia.
To showcase L and AEP, Epic Games unveiled their latest UE4 demo, powered by Tegra K1. Check out the Rivalry demo from Google I/O below.
“Through our close collaboration with NVIDIA, Epic’s Unreal Engine 4 ‘Rivalry’ project demonstrated at Google I/O shows what’s possible when PC-class gaming technologies and performance are brought to mobile devices,” said Tim Sweeney, founder of Epic. “In less than three weeks we were able to port content built for high-end PC and the DirectX 11 graphics API to Android and Google’s AEP (Android Expansion Pack) extensions for ES 3.1. Developers can deliver incredible graphical complexity on a mobile chipset thanks to Tegra K1 and AEP.”
