Development of Scene Graph Library for Mobile Platforms

In this paper, we introduce a novel scene graph library for mobile platforms, called the 'Mobile OpenSceneGraph (Mobile OSG)', as a mobile graphics middleware. Our mobile scene graph library supports several nice properties, including platform-independence, extensibility, touch-based UI supports, and compatibility, by carefully adapting the OpenSceneGraph library, one of the most widely used graphics middlewares for desktop platforms, to mobile platforms. We validate the usefulness of the proposed library for mobiles with the several experimental results including real-time rendering, camera manipulations with a touch-based UI, and animations with switching geometric nodes.
