Faogenlib is a library for GPU-accelerated calculation of ambient occlusion for 3d models. It allows baking of ambient occlusion into textures or per-vertex colors. The latest version of the library is built on OpenGL 3.3 and can be used with a wide range of hardware, from high-end GPUs to integrated laptop graphics. Currently Faogenlib available for Windows 32 and 64-bit platforms. A Source Code License purchase is required for using Faogenlib3.

OpenGraph Library (SDK) is a powerful 2D and 3D visualization and charting software tool. It is built on the industrial strength OpenGL. The library shields you from the need to learn the complex OpenGL API, and makes it easy to setup impressive and interactive graphics such as zooming, panning, selecting, etc. This library is especially suitable for building scientific, engineering, and financial software applications.

The Khronos Group announced the ratification and public release of the finalized OpenVX 1.0 specification, an open, royalty-free standard for cross platform acceleration of computer vision applications. OpenVX enables performance and power-optimized computer vision processing, especially important in embedded and real-time uses cases such as face, body and gesture tracking, smart video surveillance, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), object and scene reconstruction, augmented reality, visual inspection, robotics and more. In addition to the OpenVX specification, Khronos has developed a full set of conformance tests and an Adopters Program, that enables implementers to test their implementations and use the OpenVX trademark if conformant. Khronos plans to ship an open source, fully-conformant CPU-based implementation of OpenVX 1.0 before the end of 2014.
