大致上是說OpenGL研發新版本中,從OpenGL 1.3跳到OpenGL 2.0,
計畫新加入的單元如下:
Vertex Processor
Time Control
Fragment Processor
Memory management
Pack/Unpack Processor
OpenML 1.0 Feathres
Aux Data Buffer
Flexible Frame Buffer

不只是gaming,3DLabs, Sun, Intel, Discreet, Evans & Sutherland, Pinnacle, RealViz 和 SGI等幾家廠商也利用openGL 2.0做跨平台多媒體應用,也同時能應用在PDA上.

還有其他將制定的新標準:
Direct support for multi-pass algorithms under application control
More flexible frame buffer configuration
Off-screen rendering within OpenGL
Application control of texture memory
Unifying framework for OpenGL objects
More flexible support for reading and writing image formats
Cleaner and more efficient synchronization mechanisms
Application control of buffer swaps
Use of any color buffer as a texture


OpenGL 2.0也同時向下兼容OpenGL 1.3
剩下的還有一些新標準及新單元的解說,有興趣進去看看

DirectX9 有對手了,呵呵呵
期待OpenGL 2.0 , 也期待下一代顯示卡大戰

題外話:
我好擔心微軟take over the world....侵占電玩市場,打擊PDA,現在還要作手機??
將來不會連家裡的微波爐都是微軟生產的?用之前還要產品啟動而且熱過的食物清單還會回傳M$ !?
OpenGL 加油!!
