1/ OpenGL is quite clear in my mind in all past,present and futur I think !
2/ Performer past and present (till 2.2 included) is clear but what about
his futur ? will it be replace by something else or enlarged ?
3/ Inventor past and OpenInventor present is clear but what is the futur
of it ... just to remain OpenInventor cause it's some kind of multi-platform
standard ?
4/ Cosmo3D which is quite new has it already to dissappear ?
5/ What is the Optimizer slot in the futur toolkits specialy regarding
OpenGL++ which seems on the way to be some proprietary preservetion of
the futur in the NT sector vs OpenGL only graphics borad !?! ...
- Porting real time application in the present and in the very next futur
seems to become a real jungle trek ! ... Do we have to concentrate on
OpenGL only with some proprietary libraries for simulation and wait for
the situation to be more clear after some toolkits to be dead at birth or
after sometime ...
So ... any hints to see the futur clearer ?
