Ogles2 is a moonlight project of Johannes A. Koeppen in cooperation with the deep brain stimulation team at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf (UKE, Germany). Several doctoral fellows contributed to Ogles2 by applying and testing it in their projects. Ogles2 is written in C and C++.
        Ogles2 is the successor of 
        Ogles.
        Ogles in turn was based on 
        Ogle written by  Dr.
        Michael J Gourlay. 
        
 
        
Main advances from Ogles to Ogles2 include: 
    
Ogles2 depends haevily on Coin3D
        libraries (Coin, SoQt, SIMVoleon, and SmallChange, 
        BSD-3 licence).
        Ogles2 GUI is Qt
        Release 4.8, Community license (GPL
        3 or LGPL 2.1).
        
        
 Compiled libraries of Coin and Qt for Microsoft Windows are
        provided in the /build/ogles2_win32_binaries folder. 
        
 Please refer to Install for
        compilation of Ogles2. 
Ogles2 lives on numerous functions and algorithms provided by
        many pioneers of the open source community. Authors of algorithms
        are quoted in the source code. 
        
 In addition Ogles2 uses source code of excellent libraries
        which are compiled into the Ogles2 binary:
