This version was specified from, and very closely resembled, the API and file format of the Open Inventor software component, originally developed by SGI.

It was followed up with Open Inventor in 1994, a portable scene graph built on top of OpenGL.

Although no porting work began toolkits like Open Inventor and OpenGL Performer were intended in future to be layered on Fahrenheit, meaning that they could deliver a single fully functional development system for Fahrenheit when it shipped, supporting both their existing customers as well as new ones.

As compared to Open Inventor or Iris Performer, the design of the XSG included some novel ideas.

Performer came about in 1991 when a group from SGI's Open Inventor project, then known as IRIS Inventor, decided to focus on performance rather than ease of programmability.

Other Performer libraries -- libpfutil, libpfdb, libpfui, etc .-- provide functions for generating optimized geometry, database conversion, device input ( such as for interfacing with external flyboxes and MIL-STD-1553 mux busses ), motion models, collision models, and a format-independent database interface that supports common data formats such as Open Inventor, OpenFlight, Designer's Workbench, Medit, and Wavefront.

Open Inventor was one such example, and was intended to simplify building the scene graph, but the results were not necessarily very high performance.

They had stated that the existing Cosmo work would be abandoned, and that Open Inventor, Performer and OpenGL Optimzier would be re-written to be hosted on top of OGL ++.

SGI has released the earlier Open Inventor code into open source, but the source to OGL ++ was never completed to any satisfactory degree.

Open Inventor ( OI ) was written to address this issue, and provide a common base layer to start working with.

Open Inventor was later opened for 3rd-party licensing, which is when it switched from “ IRIS ” to “ Open “.

In 2004, TGS was acquired by Mercury Computer Systems, and in June 2009, the entity became an independent company again called Visualization Sciences Group ( VSG ), which continues to develop and support Open Inventor

Despite its age, the Open Inventor API is still widely used for a wide range of scientific and engineering visualization systems around the world, having proven itself well designed for effective development of complex 3D application software.

The age group Open is so called because divers of any age, including those over 18, may compete in these events, so long as their dives meet a minimum standard of difficulty.

Once again, qualification is based on achieving minimum scores at earlier competitions ( in this case, within the 12 months preceding the national championships, and in an Open age group event ), or high placements in previous national championships or international competitions.

It is no longer the case that divers may use results from age group events to qualify for senior nationals, or results from Open events to qualify for age group nationals.
