Sony Ericsson 3D Knowledge
Base
Sony Ericsson phones offer hardware based 3D support through Mascot Capsule
technology. Mascot Capsule delivers 3D support in two flavours, version 4 and version
3, which provides JSR-184 and a high performance proprietary API respectively.
This knowledge base attempts to provide an extensive list of answers to common
questions encountered when developing 3D content that uses Mascot Capsule
technology.
General
Q: The Sony Ericsson phones use Mascot Capsule as a 3D engine, how accurately is
this reflected in the SDK?
A: The emulator uses only a slightly modified version of Mascot Capsule designed for
use on a desktop environment. In essence the accuracy is very high.
Q: Is correct timing for 3D applications implemented in the emulator?
