Flash Gaming on NVIDIA Tablets
February 17th, 2010
Hello from Mobile World Congress 2010 in Barcelona. Tablet - the word you can hear all around. NVIDIA is actually showing many different kinds of tablets running Flash Player 10.1 as well as AIR. They are running on ARM-based NVIDIA Tegra GPUs and can also play HD video in Flash very smooth. The Flash Player itself is accelerated by this specific hardware. Adobe cooperates closely with NVIDIA (OpenScreenProject partner) on close integration.
Farmville (popular Facebook game in Flash) running on the tablet
So why don’t you just take a ride with one these Flash Gaming Engines and push the limits of web gaming today.
You can also watch MAX 2009 session GPU acceleration in the new Flash Player.
