Applications powered by Open Inventor by VSG also benefit from powerful extensions such as VolumeViz LDM for very large volume data, MeshViz XLM for high-performance mesh support, or ScaleViz for multi-GPUs and immersive VR.

Open Inventor® by VSG is the commercial, current evolution of Open Inventor and provides an up-to-date, highly-optimized, full-featured implementation of the popular object-oriented scenegraph API for C++.

Open Inventor, IRIS Performer, OpenGL Optimizer, OpenGL Volumizer, OpenGL Shader, Scene Graph APIs. Developers leverage the capabilities of OpenGL to deliver highly differentiated, yet widely supported vertical market solutions.

Leading software developers use OpenGL, with its robust rendering libraries, as the 2D/3D graphics foundation for higher-level APIs.

More specifically, it's a software architecture for coordinating the Linux kernel, X window system, 3D graphics hardware and an OpenGL-based rendering engine. In simple terms, the DRI enables hardware-accelerated 3D graphics on Linux. GLU 1.3 is available and includes new capabilities corresponding to new OpenGL 1.2 features.

GLU 1.2 is the version of GLU that goes with OpenGL 1.1. This is a set of functions to create texture mipmaps from a base image, map coordinates between screen and object space, and draw quadric surfaces and NURBS.

Please refer to the OpenGL Registry for more information and links.

It supports: pixel buffers for hardware accelerated offscreen rendering read-only drawables for preprocessing of data in an offscreen window and direct video input and FBConfigs, a more powerful and flexible interface for selecting frame buffer configurations underlying an OpenGL rendering window. GLX 1.3 is used on Unix OpenGL implementation to manage interaction with the X Window System and to encode OpenGL onto the X protocol stream for remote rendering. DRI is the Direct Rendering Infrastructure for coordinating the Linux kernel, X window system, 3D graphics hardware and an OpenGL-based rendering engine.

GLX is used on Unix OpenGL implementation to manage interaction with the X Window System and to encode OpenGL onto the X protocol stream for remote rendering.

Libraries that are modeled on the functionality of GLUT providing support for things like: windowing and events, user input, menuing, full screen rendering, performance timing.

GLUT makes it considerably easier to learn about and explore OpenGL Programming.

It implements a simple windowing application programming interface (API) for OpenGL. GLUT is the OpenGL Utility Toolkit, a window system independent toolkit for writing OpenGL programs.There are numerous Windowing system and interface libraries available for OpenGL as well as Scengraphs and High-level libraries build on top of OpenGL
