AGEIA physX PPU (novadex/ODE)

Some really neat videos.

Didn’t see anything about novadex/ODE ???

Would be nice in a Java application. Don’t you think?

That PPU chip is amazing!!
I can’t wait to see it embedded in Java-powered devices. I’ve been looking at the Open Dynamics Framework initiative where Ageia are trying to get everyone to agree on a standardised API interface for all physics engines. This will undoubtedly lead to Java bindings. If you’re aware of the Khronos Group consortium then you will know there is a lot of ongoing activity towards creating Java bindings for embedded hardware such as OpenGL-ES, OpenSL-ES and OpenVG. Ageia is a member of that group and it’s not difficult to see why - they want their chip to be embedded in future Java-powered devices, such as smart phones and set-top boxes. So surely it’s only a matter of time before us Java game developers get to play with OpenGL-ES and a physics PPU on Java-enabled devices. :slight_smile:
