OMAP-based mobile apps demo

Texas Instruments Inc. and its ecosystem partners showcase creative mobile application designs based on TI's OMAP 4 processors running on Linux, Android and QNX operating systems at the 2011 Mobile World Congress.
Applications on display include Web browsing and rich Adobe Flash based content, augmented reality, touchless gestures, stereoscopic 3D in video, gaming and user interfaces, content-protected streaming services, and HD mobile video teleconferencing.
Web browsing
TI's OMAP 4 platform offers browser functions including page load, zoom, pan and scroll, and accelerates Adobe Flash Player 10 with video decode, graphics rendering, scaling, transforming and compositing operations in hardware, to give users a fluid and enjoyable mobile Web browsing experience.
TI is presenting with Adobe Systems Inc. an Android 2.2-based browser running Flash Player 10.1 and Adobe AIR 2.5 on TI's Blaze tablet development platform (TDP) with an Arcsoft user interface.
Augmented reality (AR)
AR applications utilising OMAP technologies include AR browsers, mobile merchandising and mobile social networking, with HD graphics rendering, face detection, 3D face tracking, and marker-less tracking. TI along with Metaio, Viewdle, Invensense and Total Immersion offer a glimpse of AR features running on TI's Blaze mobile development platform (MDP).
Gestures and Stereoscopic 3D (S3D)
TI's OMAP 4 platform also sets the stage for developing touchless gesture- and (auto) S3D-enabled mobile devices with features such as its dual-core ARM Cortex-A9, graphic and video accelerators, image signal processing, a DSP for specific algorithms like 2D-to-3D conversion, auto-convergence, and a gesture recognition engine. TI and Rightware demo advanced S3D user interfaces and S3D video playback on the Blaze MDP. Together with Digital Aria, TI is also demonstrating an educational application that makes you travel through our planetary system in S3D with touchless gesture control.

3D gaming
Applications on mobile devices using high definition videos, textures, S3D and touchless gesture capabilities enabled by TI's OMAP 4 platform. Ecosystem partners here include HI Corp. for a shooter game in S3D on Blaze MDP using MascotCapsule eruptionST S3D middleware; Gameloft, with an adaptation of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell game for S3D rendering; Stonetrip, which will present its ShiVaS3D engine running a game ported and optimised on the OMAP 4 platform.
TI gaming and mobile computing demos also leverage WHDI technology from Amimon to reflect mobile device display content to a large external TV or monitor, over a wireless connection, in 1,080p resolution, without any notable latency.
HD mobile video teleconferencing (VTC)
TI is working with Skype for HD mobile video teleconferencing (VTC). Multimedia capabilities and low power requirements suit the OMAP platform for a Skype-based, peer-to-peer video call at 720p. Plus, TI is working with Ittiam for a multi-party SIP based VTC with four participants communicating with each other on the Blaze MDP.
Content-protected streaming services
And security, of course, is key for all mobile streaming services: The OMAP 4 platform features TI's M-Shield security technology to protect the content we stream from the Web to our mobile devices and shielding the devices from malware and other attacks. Its inherent features also safely enable applications like mobile banking and e-shopping. TI highlights the OMAP 4 platform's M-Shield security features on Android, through a Netflix HD video streaming demo with Microsoft Play Ready DRM scheme and Trusted Logic DRM agent.
