Call for Industry Participation: Embedded Camera API Exploratory Group
Group will ascertain industry interest in creation of open royalty-free API standards for controlling embedded cameras and sensors
The Khronos® Group and the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA), the leading European industry association dedicated to vision technology, jointly announced the formation of an Embedded Camera API Exploratory Group, open to all at no cost, to explore industry interest in the creation of open royalty-free API standards for controlling embedded cameras and sensors. All participants will be able to discuss use cases and requirements for new interoperability standards to accelerate market growth and reduce development costs in embedded markets using vision and sensor processing and associated acceleration. If the Exploratory Group reaches significant consensus, then Khronos and EMVA will work to initiate the proposed standardization projects at the appropriate organizations. More...

Vulkan SDK Offers Developers a Smooth Transition Path to Synchronization2
 The newly released VK_KHR_synchronization2 extension brings extensive improvements to Vulkan® queue submission, events, and pipeline barriers resulting in API significant usability enhancements for developers.
Synchronization2 highlights include:
- Data for semaphores and command buffers is passed in arrays of structures, rather than in separate arrays spread across multiple structures, to streamline queue submissions.
- Barrier pipeline stage masks are now stored in the barrier structure rather than passed as separate parameters to vkCmdPipelineBarrier() to simplify resource state tracking.
- VkPipelineStageFlags2KHR and VkAccessFlags2KHR are expanded to 64-bits to allow for future extensibility with new extensions.
- vkCmdSetEvent2KHR() requires pipeline barriers, enhancing driver efficiency by scheduling work at event ‘set’ time, rather than the ‘wait’ for barrier information to become available.
- New image layout types now ‘do the right thing’ for both color and depth/stencil images. Also, image layout transitions do not happen if a barrier’s oldLayout and newLayout field are equal, even if the layout provided doesn’t match the current layout of the image.
More details on this significant extension have been added to the Vulkan Guide. More...

Khronos AR and 3D Commerce Initiatives and their Wider Industry Impact
March 3, 2021
 Khronos presented at the AR for Enterprise Alliance (AREA) webinar last week. The audience heard Martin Enthed discuss how AR interoperability changes the world and Neil Trevett present on the industry impacts of Khronos standards for AR and 3D Commerce. After Neil's presentation, Max Limper talked about efficient asset creation and optimization for 3D Commerce followed by Brent Scannell's presentation on 3D Commerce and the evolution of 3D content creation tools. Lastly, Ashley Crowder discussed making 3D fast and easy at scale. After the presentations, all the speakers took part in a panel hosted by Christine Perey, the Founder of AREA.
The presentations and video have been made available for on-demand viewing.
