Universal distribution of supercompressed GPU textures; open source KTX 2.0 tools and guides released
Beaverton, OR – April 20, 2021 – Today, The Khronos® Group announces the ratification of KTX™ 2.0, adding support for Basis Universal supercompression to this container format for reliable, ubiquitous distribution of GPU textures. Basis Universal is a compression technology developed by Binomial that produces compact textures that can be efficiently transcoded to a variety of GPU compressed texture formats at run-time. Additionally, Khronos has released the KHR texture basisu extension enabling glTF to contain KTX 2.0 textures, resulting in universally distributable glTF assets that reduce download size and use natively supported texture formats to reduce GPU memory size and boost rendering speed on diverse devices and platforms. Lastly, Khronos has released open source tools and transcoders, together with developer and artist guidelines, to enable and encourage wid
ElectionVR: Mapping the popular vote for US President in VR
ElectionVR is an experiment in using virtual reality to give people a more intuitive and nuanced view of election data. It allows you to walk around a map of the United States and explore the data for the last four presidential elections, showing the number and percentage of votes that each of the major candidates received in each state. You’ll be able to see that in 2016 more 1 million people in the democratic stronghold of Massachusetts voted for Donald Trump and that almost 4 million people in Texas voted for Hillary Clinton, a state which no Democrat has won since 1976. You’ll also see the surprisingly strong showing of third-party candidates, such as Gary Johnson and Evan McMullin, especially as compared to previous elections.
