Abstract :
To support the increasing interest in virtual reality systems, computer graphics must now be extremely powerful to obtain realistic images. VR systems are based on two technical tools: graphics accelerators and pixel renderers. The paper discusses the Truga001 single-chip rendering processor for virtual reality and multimedia systems. It embeds 12 graphics processors and 7 special modules in a single chip
