Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

The OpenGL ES Caps Viewer is the mobile equivalent of the OpenGL Caps Viewer for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX. It gathers the OpenGL ES implementation information of your device, including : - Versions - Extensions - Compressed formats - Shader and program binary formats - OpenGL ES 2.0 and 3.0 caps - EGL implementation It also gathers device information (no personal data!) that may be of use for developers : - Operating system, screen size and CPU info - Hardware sensors (including range and resolution) - Android features These hardware reports can then be uploaded to a data base (http://opengles.gpuinfo.org), from where they are available to the public, so that other developers can check out OpenGL ES implementation (and device) information, filter e.g. by availability of extensions and compare devices to check out capabilites of their target platforms.
