Less text: Rendering. Originally developed for at-scale Scientific Visualization (think extremely large simulation results), integrated rendering backend option to ParaView, VisIt, and other VTK applications. We're also finding many photo-real use-cases.

Even less text: example renders https://www.ospray.org/, https://www.ospray.org/gallery.html, https://www.ospray.org/ospray_studio/ and, https://www.ospray.org/ospray_studio/gallery.html

Thanks.
