intelliTablet Announcement One Laptop Per Gran (OLPG) #1
We are pleased to inform the public about our last steps related with the Sugar learning platform after connected Sugar with Firefox OS as Sugarfox (see also the Ontonics Further steps of today above).

Today we came back to an relatively old concept developed in our OntoLab that is based on the observations that everything a junior can do with a computer a senior can do as well on the hand and that on the other hand many modern societies have a serious pro- blem with the excess of age. In this conjunction we extended the target group of Sugar and called the interrelated projects:
One Laptop Per Grandma,
One Laptop Per Grandpa,
One Tablet Per Grandma and
One Tablet Per Grandpa, or simply
One Laptop Per Gran and
One Tablet Per Gran
abbreviated as OLPG and OTPG.

Extremely helpful is the minimalistic design of the Graphical User Int- erface (GUI), and the easy to learn and to use activities. The overall project comprises common applications, but also software tools for activities of daily living and assisted living.

Somehow, the german magazine Der Spiegel has not apprehended the true vision of Constantine correctly, when it wrote its related title story, or otherwise a simply projection of the activities of the last years into the future would have shown the reporters that they lead directly to human batteries.

We quote an e-mail of C.S. sent to the mailing list of the developers of the Sugar learning platform today:
"Because I already expected that there is an activity that is able to handle [OpenStreetMap (]OSM[)] data [...], I am also thinking about a feature that is basically an extension of the Neighborhood view [(see [3])] or even a fifth view called for example (Sugar) Earth, (Sugar) World, (Sugar) Cosmos or (Sugar) Paracosm (see [2]; my favorite in conjunction with (creativity and ideas of) children) on top of the Neighborhood view. This feature has also to be seen in conjunction with the other proposed feature of a [Zooming User Interface (]ZUI[)] metaphor for Sugar (see the related thread started on the 1st of March 2014 [(see the Further steps of the 1st of March 2014)]). Both the fifth view and the ZUI fit together perfectly, because often digital globes and digital world maps are based on the ZUI metaphor (see [1]).

Despite that the whole acting of that defrauding media company is not comprehensible in general, but also in relation to its last bold, shameless and despicable attack on arts and culture, and that it has crossed the red line now definitely, which makes it a case for the prosecutors, that criminal behavior also raises the question why the British Broadcating Company is still refusing the reality about its self-destruction of its trustworthiness and about the hopelessness of its already failed attempt.

By the way: More and more readers of its website are complaining already about the permanent advertising of companies like Google and Amazon.

In this conjunction we also raise the questions once again why the media is permanently infringing our copyright and not referencing our original works, and why no investigative journalist is taking her/his once-in-a-lifetime chance and reports about this giant social scandal around C.S., which even is already documented with publicly avail- able facts and in-depth insider informations. One answer for the 2nd question might be that the investigative journalism is an element of the dirty game and hence not investigative at all.
If the media does not do their social duties in a democracy, then the media laws have to be reworked, so that existing free zones are cropped.

So, let them Roll(ing) On The Floor Laughing (ROTFL).

Clarification
We are sorry to say so, but we give all potential sponsors of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) foundation and association the friendly ad- vice not to support this project. Reasons for this are that the OLPC:

Obviously, these reasons show that the OLPC project does not work on the one hand and on the other hand make a cooperation on a more professional level impossible, as it could be seen through all the years. In fact, the whole procedure has to be restarted again, be- cause its ship has sailed a long time ago and is now short of sinking on deep sea.
In this respect, we also have cancelled all related activities with our potentially interested highly potent sponsors worth a million or more deployments and instead will concentrate on our related projects and superior platforms. Sadly to say in this conjunction is that the Sugar learning platform is still too strongly connected with the OLPC.

OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
In the last days we worked on 3 software stacks:
The first stack consists of Linux kernel, Wayland and Eagle Mode with the focus on porting X11/GL applications to Wayland/EGL using X11/GLX wrapper for Wayland/EGL and jwzGLES.
The second stack consists of Linux kernel, Wayland, QtWayland with QtCompositor, WolfenQt, Qt based 3D Maze compositor, Boot to Qt, PyQt, PyZUI and Qt WebKit with an eye kept on our Web Operating System (WOS) Boot to WebCore (see also the related Further steps of the 24th of October 2012).
The third stack is nicknamed Sugar for Adults, which is self-explan- atory.

We also finalized the first requirement specification for our WOS Silverfox.

In addition, we worked on the Ontologic File System (OntoFS), specifically on the basic and highly complex architecture (see also the OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps of the 20th of February 2014).

OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
Actually, the three game and simulation engines Underware, Delta3D and Blender Game Engine (BGE) are included in the OntoScope com- ponent. What we have not publicated so far are the informations that we are looking for a more specialized graphics engine as well since years before the start of OntoLix and OntoLinux, which we want to integrate with the other game and simulation engines. In this conjunction it is also interesting to note that Delta3D is using a Binary Space Partitioning (BSP) compiler in conjunction with the bounding sphere technique of the OpenSceneGraph (OSG), though we surely want to use other techniques like based on the Sparse Voxel Octree (SVO), the Blender developers and supporters are discussing about the future of the BGE, and we are looking at the game engines of the id Tech series, specifically with the id Tech 4 (used for Doom 3 and Quake 4) modified with elements of the id Tech 5 (used for Rage), which is used for the Doom 3 BFG Edition (see also the related Further steps of the 24th of October 2012).

We also found a way to get point clouds into the OpenSceneGraph (OSG) and are looking if and how we can connect it with the Visual- ization ToolKit (VTK) and the other related libraries of fields like the Finite Element Method (FEM) technique, the surface reconstruction by Poisson's equations and the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algori- thms for example.

Obviously, we do accelerate again.

Also, we developed two variants of an older technology by using a new technology in different ways not envisioned by the inventors.

14.March.2014
OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We have re-designed the software architecture of the remote 3D display toolkit VirtualGL (VGL) in three different ways:
The first way is a design of a hybrid that uses both the old approach of indirect rendering, which sents OpenGL commands and 3D data from the server to the client(s), and the newer approach of direct rendering on the server and sending the rendered 2D images to the client only, as it is done with VGL. The reason for this design is that some tasks related with OpenGL-based rendering could be done on the client side. To support and automate the decision process about what should be rendered either on the server side or the client side a binary network partitioning technique could be applied.
The second way is a design of another hybrid that consists of the In-Process GLX Forking with an X Proxy (e.g. Virtual Network Comp- uting (VNC)) and the In-Process GLX Forking with Image Encoding respectively VGL Transport, that abstracts the X Proxy with its X11 commands and X11 events in the same as it was done with GLX Forking while still using the VGL Transport. In the case of VNC this can be done with VNC Forking and a related VNC interposer, so that in this way VGL Transport does support collaboration (multiple clients per session) on the side of the server without using a separate screen scrapper on the sides of the clients.
The third way is a straightforward further development of the sec- ond way and focused on the exchange of the X Server, the GLX interposer respectively VGL, and the X Proxy interposer with a com- positor, which is based on the protocol respectively display server framework Wayland, and a communication framework, which could be based on the Linux kernel based D-Bus (kdbus) with the systemd based D-Bus (sdbus), ZeroMQ or nanomsg (see also the related Fur- ther steps of the 31st of January 2013).

Clarification
In contradiction to other informations, the middleware OpenNI is not needed at all, because everything is included in OntoLix and Onto- Linux already even in a superior way. Furthermore, we will not re- cognize it as a standard, as long as the three pioneering companies do not respect and admit their infringements of our copyright public- ly.

OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We continued our work related with the foundational 3D environment of our systems (see also the Further steps of the 11th of March 2014 and made substantial progress:
1. We do not need to look if and how we can connect the 3D graph- ics Application Programming Interface (API) OpenSceneGraph (OSG) with the Visualization ToolKit (VTK) anymore, because OSG already offers a basic NodeKit for volume rendering with 3D textures, Level of Detail (LOD), inclusive out-of-core respectively paged versions, and so on. A little work is needed for integrating the functionality of the Insight ToolKit (ITK) as well, though basic support in OSG exists already.
2. We found interesting solutions that add ray casting and ray trac- ing techniques in different static and dynamic/real-time variants to OSG. Advantageously, the OSG API already implements the K-dim- ensional tree (KdTree) space partitioning data structure internally and the octree data structure is not a problem at all.
3. We also found an OSG NodeKit that provides post processing and General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) functionality.
4. We have also descriptions for implementing efficient Sparse Voxel Octree (SVO) rendering techniques including variants that use the ray marching technique for example, for which we can use the OSG NodeKits and the techniques implemented with OSG mentioned in the points 1., 2. and 3.. Maybe OntoLix and OntoLinux even get a 3D user environment and desktop with SVO.

Further steps are focused on the following points:
5. Most potentially, we will use the support by the Simple Direct- Media Layer (SDL) development library for the compositor protocol Wayland (SDL-Wayland) to create the related contexts (see also the related point 6.).
6. At least for backward compatibility with legacy applications some kind of a compositing window manager is needed, like Compiz, KWin or Clayland. In the case of KWin and Clayland we already have Way- land support, as it is the case with the Qt and Clutter application frameworks. Interestingly, KWin 5 uses QtQuick 2 and in this way pulls in the QOpenGL module of QtGui, so that using QtWayland with QtCompositor would be straightforward. In this conjunction, we are looking if it is the right way to nest for example a Compiz-Wayland session compositor in an SDL-Wayland session compositor.
7. We have to decide if our way to integrate the 3D content creat- ion suite Blender with its Blender Game Engine (BGE) and the Open CasCade Technology (OCCT) is elegant enough.
8. As we already said in the Further steps of the 11th of March 2014, we are looking at an integration of a further graphics engine, like the Object-oriented Graphics Rendering Engine (OGRE) 3D or the id Tech 4 engine with elements of the id Tech 5 engine. This would be done in the same way as the integration of the other technolo- gies (see also points 7. and 9.).
9. We are also working again on our old concept of a context man- ager, which should not be confused with the already existing scene and context managers, because it integrates different (OpenGL bas- ed) engines in our special way, like the ones mentioned in the points 6., 7. and 8. into OSG besides the possibility to integrate Qt.
10. We are not quite sure if a OSG-Wayland compositor truly makes sense as a substitute for SDL-Wayland, but at least it is an interest- ing concept to think about.

That is what we call Hightech Competence™.

We are very pleased to announce that we take consumer devices to a new frontier with our latest software architectures, the Wearland and Homeland compositor shells. As their labels easily suggest, both shells constitute the ideal Graphical User Interface (GUI) platforms for embedded systems in the fields of wearable computing, small mobile gadgets, home appliances and consumer electronics, which do not depend on a full-fledged window management and 3D env- ironment, but need the most efficient way for presenting 2D and 3D multimedia contents.
Indeed, the Wearland and Homeland shells are derived from a Weston shell for In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems and hence have the same high industrial quality features as their companion shell used in the field of automotive computing.

Interested parties can ask for a vast range of embedded systems and, if needed, other complete Linux kernel based software stacks with different processing powers and functional features.
Please keep in mind that we use our other Wayland compositor for IVI systems (see for example the Further steps of the 17th of March 2014).

OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We were reminded about the concepts of the scene graph and its surface nodes of the Wayland compositor Weston. In fact, we are already at the OSG-Wayland compositor, which is called OSGLand from now on, but this point of view on the weston_view structure opens up a new view on the OSGLand as well, because putting the OpenGL ES based variant of OSG so deep into the compositor is a very smart alternative that was not envisioned by us so far (see again the points 5. to 10. of the Further steps of the 17th of March 2014).
More summarising will come with one of the next Further steps after we have sorted out the old and also the new variants.

22.March.2014
OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We watched and analyzed the whole situation very thoroughly for several years and finally came to the following decision about our general software stack (simplified illustration):
6. Applications
5. Window managers, Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs), multi- media and application frameworks, game engines
4. Wayland with OpenSceneGraph (OSGLand) or/and similar and other direct media compositors
3. EGL, OpenGL and OpenGL for Embedded Systems (OpenGL ES); EGL and OpenGL ES might be merged into OpenGL; OpenVG is al- ready implemented on top of OpenGL (ES)
2. Operating systems and (Open Graphics Library (OpenGL)) hard- ware (Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI)) drivers
1. Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL)

In this way every framework gets a well thought and flexible found- ation upon they can build, as it is given for example with our comp- ositor OSGLand as well as our OntoCove component with its signal/ slot system, that already exists since the year 2006 (see also the Further steps of the 17th and 20th of March 2014).

Please keep in mind that we do not want to support scripting lang- uages based on the EcmaScript standard any longer and the pro- gramming language Python anymore in the first place, if at all, in favor of the use of C++ as the command language, the scripting or macro language, and the programming language with the Cling C++ interpreter (see the related Further steps of the 24th of February 2014).

24.March.2014
OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We already have:
1. OpenSceneGraph (OSG) examples with utility libraries and frame- works like the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT; osgviewerGLUT), Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL; osgviewerSDL), Qt application framework (osgviewerQt), and others,
2. the base class osgViewer::GraphicsWindow and the derived class osgViewer::GraphicsWindowX11 with bindings to EGL and OpenGL ES, and
3. Wayland compositors with SDL, and Qt and KWin.

As further steps we look at the following points:
4. Implement the class osgViewer::GraphicsWindowWayland by using the Weston client sample simple-egl.c.
5. Implement OSG-Wayland/OSGLand 1.0 by simply merging the al- ready available solutions mentioned in the points 1. to 4. and delet- ing obsolete code in an appropriate way (see also the Further steps of the 22nd of March 2014).
6. Implement Wayland compositors with Simple and Fast Multimedia Library (SFML) and OpenGL FrameWork (GLFW) following the solut- ions named in point 3..
7. Develop OSGLand 1.0 further through the support of the OpenGL Shading Language (GLSL; osg::Shader, osg::Program, osg::Uniform), specifically in relation with its handling of pixels, framebuffer and texture memory, and features like e.g. to draw in one pass without render-to-texture (see OpenGL pipeline architecture, points 8. and 10., and wherever it fits) and optimize the resulting OSGLand 2.0.
8. Optimize more with techniques like Sparse Bindless Texture Array (SBTA), Multi-Draw Indirect (MDI), dynamic streaming, and so on if not available already and if possible in this way (see again point 6. and also the Further steps of 17th of March 2014).
9. Use OSG features like osgViewer::CompositeViewer, osgWidget, and others if advantageously.
10. Implement communication frameworks (see the Further steps of the 14th of March 2014).

We came back to one of our oldest multimedia concepts created in the late 1990s and developed it further on the sides of its general concept, designs, and technological realizations.
We also combined the updated multimedia technology with a newer solution.

OntoLab, OntoLix and OntoLinux Further steps
We continued to improve our OpenSceneGraph based architecture with depth mapping, that is analyzing a picture or video stream to figure out the distance of the surfaces of scene objects from the viewpoint respectively the camera. One approach to realize depth mapping is to re-use the depth buffer for shadow mapping, depth buffer to distance conversion, as well as mouse picking and ray tracing techniques in conjunction with for example the function gluUnProject(), which converts screen coordinates to OpenGL co- ordinates, and machine vision.
In this way we can easily add completely software based gesture tracking and control even with common 2D cameras besides special 3D and depth cameras to the User Interface (UI; see also the web- page Ontologic Applications and our original and unique MobileKinetic technology).
