The Mobile 3D Graphics API retained mode lets you work with a scene graph representation of your 3D world. This article, the second of a two-part series, describes just that — an easy way to manage your 3D objects. Immediate mode renders 3D objects directly on the screen. Retained mode, on the other hand, lets you build a scene graph that you can manipulate and render at a later time.

Project Looking Glass on your mobile phone… now THAT would be cool.
Project Looking Glass on your mobile phone… now THAT would be cool.
LOL!
Let’s await the new generation ARM chips and the new revolution in phone-batteries first, shall we?
And a 2″ diagonal screen with > 1024×768 resolution… and advances in genetic engineering to give us eyes that could make use of such cool technology. I can hardly wait.
But first, remind me what use project Looking Glass is on a desktop today?
Now Imagiine a 3d world… mapped just onto the real one… and your phone would be just like a window to that second world.
The ideal device to get finally completely mad 🙂
