LG Employs ATI Graphics for Mobile 3D Gaming


LG Electronics will include the IMAGEON 2300 media processor from ATI Technologies in its forthcoming SV360 phone. The phone employs a 320x240 landscape LCD display and using the IMAGEON 2300, it is able to render scenes containing over 10,000 triangles per frame. The ATI IMAGEON 2300 supports the OpenGL ES 1.0 mobile gaming API.

In addition to its hefty 3D capabilities, the SV360 also features a 3D user interface, a gyroscopic controller and stereo speakers.
Amongst the day's new phones, one puts all others to shame in terms of graphics horsepower. The new SV360 by LG boasts an accelerator chip capable of displaying 1 million polygons per second, around 5 times faster than anything else out there (and with what appears to be Gran Turismo 1). Not only that, but motion sensors built into the handset will allow users to control their games simply by moving their handset in physical space. The gaming experience is displayed on a 2.2 inch LCD built into a mini laptop design. With the graphic performance and motion sensors, what else will keep from people playing Dance Dance Revolution on the subway?
