EitaroSoft showed of its 3D virtual world service, dubbed “Lamity”on the NVIDIA Tegra APX2500 at NVISION 2008 in California last month.

NVIDIA, a member of the ARM Connected Community, unveiled the APX 2500 at the beginning of this year. It is based on an ARM11 core, handles 720p (1280 x 720) video, and supports HDMI output. The APX 2500 runs Windows Mobile directly on an ARM11-based core.

Lamity allows a maximum 400 people to simultaneously access a virtual town within the service. Unlike many other virtual world services which require a high performance PC, Lamity can run on a mobile phone. Lamity was demoed at NVISION 2008 event as an advanced 3D application using NVIDIA Tegra APX 2500.
