AmanithVG - Vector Graphics for embedded Systems

Mazatech is a brand new company, based in Italy, founded by a team of young professionals who have been working together developing technologies for realtime vector graphics, since 1998.

Mazatech aims to produce an OpenVG compliant library that uses OpenGL ES as a base. The product is called AmanithVG and is available for evaluation on win32 as a free download from their website. Other platforms can be evaluated under NDA.

OpenVG is to 2D and vectors what OpenGL is to 3D and triangles. That is, OpenVG is an open, royalty free, standard developed by Khronos, aimed at addressing vector rendering and 2D drawing.

OpenVG is interesting because it is an ideal base on which to map vector rendering libraries such as FLASH and SVG. An open question for me is if AmanithVG has relevance to the set top box world where undoubtedly chip manufacturers will supply similar technologies.
