Microsoft DirectX is a group of technologies designed to make
Windows-based computers an ideal platform for running and
displaying applications rich in multimedia elements such as full-color
graphics, video, 3D animation, and rich audio. DirectX includes
security and performance updates, along with many new features
across all technologies, which can be accessed by applications
using the DirectX APIs.
At the core of DirectX are its application programming interfaces, or APIs.
The APIs act as a kind of bridge for the hardware and the software to "talk"
to each other. The DirectX APIs give multimedia applications access to the
advanced features of high-performance hardware such as three-dimensional
(3-D) graphics acceleration chips and sound cards. They control low-level
functions, including two-dimensional (2-D) graphics acceleration; support
for input devices such as joysticks, keyboards, and mice; and control of
sound mixing and sound output. Because of DirectX, what you experience
with your computer is better 3-D graphics and immersive music and audio
effects.
