На прошлогодней конференции Samsung для разработчиков мы рассказывали о сетевом образе мышления, о вещах, которые возможны благодаря унификации подключения между разными устройствами. Платформа SmartThings, которую Samsung представил год назад, стала большим шагом на пути к созданию бесшовного подключённого будущего.
За прошлый год в коммерческое использование были запущены решения от Samsung на базе технологии 5G, стали доступны прорывные возможности AI (искусственного интеллекта), SmartThings превратилась в наиболее полную открытую платформу Интернета вещей в мире.
Сегодня – это эпоха интеллектуальных сервисов, которые предоставляют людям доступ к полезным инструментам и ярким впечатлениям; это время невероятных экономических возможностей, основанных на новых знаниях о том, как устроен мир и чего хотят потребители; время – когда благодаря универсальной IoT-платформе SmartThings сетевой образ мышления становится сетевым образом жизни.
«Я могу с гордостью сказать, что Samsung был первопроходцем во многих областях технологий, ставших основой сегодняшних достижений. Помимо расширения платформы SmartThings, мы представили инновации в области искусственного интеллекта, которые совершили переворот в сферах связи и автоматизации, вошли в число первых разработчиков технологий 5G и даже запустили первую в мире 5G сеть в США», – отметил Донг Джин Ко, президент и глава мобильного подразделения Samsung Electronics на открытии SDC 2018.
На конференции SDC Samsung представляет новые инструменты для разработчиков SmartThings, которые продемонстрируют настоящую ценность «сетевого образа жизни», усовершенствования интеллектуальной платформы Bixby, для того, чтобы сделать AI доступным для большего числа продуктов и сервисов, а также новое оборудование и концепции интерфейса мобильных сервисов.
Каждая из этих разработок усиливает самую мощную технологическую экосистему в мире, и в итоге поможет Samsung создать мир инноваций, которые будут служить людям каждый день.
8 ноября в пресс-центре Moscone West (Сан-Франциско, Калифорния) продолжились мероприятия в рамках SDC 2018. В частности, состоялась продуктивная дискуссия с ведущими разработчиками игрового контента, включая создателей суперпопулярной Fortnite.

Not so long ago, consoles and PCs were the only platforms powerful enough to deliver the best gaming experiences. But as the computing and graphics capability of smartphones continue to improve, the experience of gaming on mobile devices can now rival traditional platforms.
The statistics speak for themselves. There are an estimated 2.1 billion mobile gamers around the world; 56 percent of them play games on their phone more than ten times per week.
As the Galaxy smartphone is the world’s largest platform for Android games, Samsung is in a unique position to shape the future of mobile gaming. Our aim is simple – create immersive and unique experiences for gamers across the globe.
Our commitment to push the boundaries of mobile gaming led to the establishment of Galaxy GameDev in 2016 – a program dedicated to supporting global game developers and partners.
Since the program was announced at SDC 2016, it has helped over 50 partners, including Unity and Epic Games, optimize their offerings. By providing cutting-edge tools to developers, such as 64-bit and Vulkan API, GameDev set a new standard in the quality of mobile gaming. The launch of Fortnite for Android with Galaxy Note9 is just one of many examples of the program’s enormous influence on the gaming landscape.
Building on the progress made to date, we are ready to take mobile gaming on Galaxy to the next level. At the core of our vision are three principles – help game developers to create best games, help users discover great games, and help the game industry to grow its great ecosystem.
To turn this vision into reality, we are taking steps to provide the best support for the game development industry and game developers.
In the coming year, Galaxy GameDev will expand to include even more cutting-edge tools, including GPUWatch and GameSDK with Android P. Working in partnership with Unity, we will also release Adaptive Performance in 2019 to provide heat control API and other optimization tools for developers.
To help our gaming partners easily deliver their latest creations to their fans, we are launching the Galaxy Store Seller Program. For users, the brand-new Galaxy Store, the only store in Galaxy, will simplify the steps to find new games on Galaxy phones and more exclusive benefits.
And finally, we are strengthening Samsung IAP by enhancing the fraud detection system, settlement system and the seller dashboard. Our partnership program called Made4Samsung that started in the US will also expand globally, providing more opportunities for developers to commercialize their games.
The future of mobile gaming is limitless and now is the perfect time to join the world of Galaxy. Together with the developer community, let’s become the game changer.
SDC18: Samsung Expands Developer Support to Deliver Premium Mobile Gaming
From blockbuster RPGs to clan wars and classic puzzles, our smartphones are now powerful enough to deliver premium gaming experiences. Now Samsung is helping developers push the envelope further.
Samsung has been working to expand its gaming ecosystem to make Galaxy devices the go-to platform for gamers. The all-new Galaxy Store, for example, will become the single destination for all digital items related to Galaxy devices, making it easier and more convenient to discover and download everything from new games, to applications, themes, fonts and more.
With developers in mind, the company is enabling high-performance game development through its Galaxy GameDev program, which features exclusive tools and technical support.
* Vulkan API equips developers with the right tools to deliver a high-quality gaming experience. An enhanced iteration of Vulkan announced at Samsung Developer Conference 2018, offers 10 percent improved performance compared to the OpenGL ES, taking user gaming experience to the next level.
* GPUWatch aids developers in their monitoring and measurement of performance between Vulkan and OpenGL ES. It’s now packed with new features, such as overlaid measurement results and real-time information on-screen – all made possible without separate installation or PC connection.
Along with key partnerships with some of the world’s biggest game companies such as Epic Games, Square Enix and Niantic Inc., Samsung has created an unparalleled mobile gaming platform that makes having fun on the go easier than ever. Check out the motion graphic below to see all that’s new with Samsung’s gaming ambitions from Samsung Developer Conference 2018.
