Capaware uses OpenSceneGraph as graphics engine, other free software initiative, achieving extremely high rates of frames per second. Capaware architecture has a plugins interface that allowing new plugins.

This knowledge it is being using by Canary Islands software companies for developing 3D georeferentiated applications for specific purposes
