Supporting the industry-standard OpenGL® ES , eruption enables high-speed rendering of 3D graphics by making the best use of iPad's 3D graphics accelerator, allowing beautiful, sensational 3D animation with high resolution on iPad.
As the content developed using MascotCapsule does not depend on an equipment or operating system, it is possible to quickly port models and animation data into other devices. Due to this, "Resident Evil 4" developed for iPhone and iPod touch using eruption has been successfully ported into iPad.
HI is committed to establishing further efforts of expanding MascotCapsule in order to contribute to the global development of popular games and content.
