And even people far from the world of games are familiar with the capabilities of their technologies, which have been used for more than 10 years to create special effects for the best Hollywood blockbusters.
At the moment, the Havok physics engine is the second most popular in the world. Some intrigue is made by the fact that the company that developed the PhysX engine that overtook it belongs to Nvidia, which had tried in its time with Intel and bought Havok.

The assets of the smartphone are multiplayer (via wi-fi), cross-platform games and games specially designed for PLAY - in fact, Xperia PLAY opens up a huge new market for PlayStation Certified devices. As SonyEricsson players themselves say, “Xperia PLAY opens up a new, mobile dimension for a whole range of games,” first available only for consoles, and gives you truly exciting mobile game experiences.
PLAY will launch its promotion to the heart of the consumer from across the ocean - another news last week was the announcement on March 2 of Xperia PLAY as the official phone of the American e-sports league Major League Gaming . This event is of equal importance to the choice of Formula1 race car - in the race, it seems, is not participating, but it constantly hits the broadcast screens.

The physics engine is a computer program that simulates the physical laws of the real world in the virtual world with varying degrees of approximation. Game physics engines are used in computer games as a component of the game engine. In this case, it should work in real time, that is, to reproduce the physical processes in the game with the same speed at which they take place in the real world. However, the accuracy of calculations is not required from the game physics engine. The main requirement is visual realism.
