Productivity-oriented, Open Inventor® by Mercury is also highly flexible, and allows for addressing specific application needs in many aspects:
All-terrain tools
fitting your real needs:
Open Inventor is tuned
for best interoperability with your preferred, legacy
or required environment. It smoothly integrates with
your application at optimal performance with easy to
maintain interfaces. Open Inventor complements nicely
geometric modeling or simulation engines and is a preferred
replacement for old-generation 3D graphics. You can
even take advantage of Open Inventor with existing
OpenGL code, or extend it at the OpenGL level. Open
Inventor provides GUI components for Win32, MFC, WinForms,
X11/Motif, Qt, and Java that can be customized to fit
your specific constraints.
Multiple-language support:
Open Inventor® by Mercury gives developers the flexibility to use C++, .NET, or Java as their development language, bringing true hardware independence and covering a full range of systems.
More bricks to meet specific challenges:
The Open Inventor® by Mercury package
includes a complete suite of extensions that enable
easy customization for specialized markets or unique
application needs. By packaging innovative intellectual
property (IP) with these extensions, Mercury gives
you instant access to the latest visualization techniques:
Large Data Management for volume rendering, ultimate
scalability through rendering distribution and remote
application,
advanced 2D/3D scientific visualization technologies,
ray-traced realistic rendering and more.
Dynamic GPU-Computing Support
Open Inventor® by Mercury provides application developers with a unique solution that enables interoperability between advanced 3D visualization and powerful GPU-based computing capabilities to perform parallel computation on the fly on a workstation.
