Accelerating Vision Processing with Khronos
The latest on using the OpenVX and OpenCL APIs, and the NNEF Neural Net file format, to accelerate vision-processing applications ranging from augmented reality to deep learning-based scene recognition.
3D Authoring from Khronos
Come up to speed on the latest developments in the COLLADA ecosystem for 3D authoring, and learn how the COLLADA and glTF file formats complement each other.
Runtime 3D Asset Delivery from Khronos
Learn the latest about glTF – the “JPEG for 3D” file format - including the new glTF 2.0 with Physically Based Rendering, and significant ecosystem updates.
3D Web Graphics with Khronos
Discover the cutting edge in WebGL applications with fast-paced demos and presentations. Learn about what is new in WebGL 2.0. Download your free copy of WebGL Insights (PDF).
Portable VR/AR/MR with Khronos
Hear about the potential of Khronos OpenXR to grow the VR ecosystem by providing application portability, and standardizing device access, across multiple VR/AR/MR systems. We'll frame the discussion around specific technical issues that each panelist nominated to highlight some of the challenges and advantages of creating an open standard in the XR space.
3D Graphics with Khronos
Hear what’s happening with the Khronos family of native open standard 3D APIs: Vulkan, OpenGL, and OpenGL ES. We'll cover the latest technical features, applications, tools, and ecosystem developments.
Join Khronos and our sponsors on August 2nd in Platinum Ballroom F-J to participate in one of the most highly anticipated events at SIGGRAPH – The Khronos BOF-Blitz Party! Celebrate another great year of graphics with the people behind some of the industry's leading visual computing technologies. We’ll have beer, food, music, and Khronos Members and event sponsors available to answer your questions, talk about Khronos technologies, and demo their Khronos tech-related products.
Thank you to our Khronos-member sponsors Cesium and NVIDIA for helping to make our party possible:
