Big Games, Small Screens: Developing 3D games for mobile devices is full of challenges, but the rich, evolving toolset enables some stunning results.
Abstract
One thing that becomes immediately apparent when creating and distributing mobile 3D games is that there are fundamental differences between the cellphone market and the more traditional games markets, such as consoles and handheld gaming devices. The most striking of these are the number of delivery platforms; the severe constraints of the devices, including small screens whose orientation can be changed; limited input controls; the need to deal with other tasks; the nonphysical delivery mechanism; and the variations in handset performance and input capability.

A style of 3D graphics programming where a persistent representation of the graphical objects, their spatial relationships, and their appearance together with the viewing position is held in a scene graph in memory. The program draws the entire scene with a single library call, avoiding low-level work in managing, culling, and rendering the data.
