08:30	Registration
09:15	Welcome and Opening Chair: Mike Doggett and Anselmo Lastra
09:30	Keynote: Kari Pulli, Nokia "Graphics Everywhere - Pixels in your Pocket" Slides (pdf)[6.3MB] Chair: Tomas Akenine-Möller Abstract: Mobile phones have been relatively simple appliances optimized for single use case: making and receiving phone calls. However, recent technological advances have produced mobile communication and information appliances, with decent general computational capacity, increasingly larger and higher quality displays, built-in wireless communication, open development platforms, and ubiquitous presence. This talk is going to cover the implications of these developments from the graphics point of view, the graphics use cases, mobile graphics standards, some limitations of the technology, software and hardware graphics engines, and the fast evolution of mobile graphics.
