2.Open Source Technologies Used:

2.1 Python 2.7

  Python was chosen as the default language for writing all the programs throughout the project. The version used by the developers was 2.7.6

2.2 PyOpenGL

  PyOpenGL is the most common cross platform Python binding to OpenGL and related APIs. The binding is created using the standard ctypes library, and is provided under an extremely liberal BSD-style Open-Source license.

2.4 Numpy

  NumPy is the fundamental package for scientific computing with Python.Besides its obvious scientific uses, NumPy can also be used as an efficient multi-dimensional container of generic data. Arbitrary data-types can be defined. This allows NumPy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases.NumPy is licensed under the BSD license, enabling reuse with few restrictions.
