Unigine Needs Your Help Testing Out Their New Hardware Detection

Again, tell me where you read about this. And what would it contain? Because you don't demand a lower level API just to put an abstraction layer on top of it.
I simply have no idea what you are talking about.

It was a suggestive use for a common abstraction layer on top of vulkan, did you read my comment?

I did, but how is Vulkan+abstraction layer different from OpenGL then?

Thanks to everyone for your feedback, it is very helpful!

It would be a slimmer, more targeted abstraction layer based on modern principles instead of a giant abstraction layer based on principles from the '80s that can't make many assumptions because different APIs it supports require things working in incompatible ways. A slim abstraction over Vulkan, though, could make a lot of assumptions about how that abstraction works to ensure it's all optimized properly on modern hardware.

Can you give an example, please?
