New Gaming Experiences With OpenGL ES and the Mobile Sensor API

For game developers focused on Java ME, there are two APIs available for creating 3D graphics, the Mobile 3D API (JSR-184) and the OpenGL ES bindings for Java ME (JSR-239). The Mobile 3D API is basically the Java ME equivalent to the Java 3D API the author knows from Java SE, while JSR-239 is a Java implementation of the OpenGL ES standard managed by the Khronos Group (there is also a Java SE implementation of the standard OpenGL API called JOGL). It is my belief that the JSR-239 will be more successful in the long run, since it is a more widespread standard than JSR-184 and is also better prepared for the new 3D graphics chips.
