In addition to working with video data, Jitter also provides an interface to OpenGL, a tool for generating graphics dynamically. Instead of processing video directly, OpenGL renders images from a scene containing objects, textures and lighting. OpenGL can be used to generate complex and reactive graphics in real time. Through the jit.phys objects, it can also use its built-in physics engine to simulate the interaction of physical objects.
