i want to build up a simple 3d interactive geometry application in

the scene is simple so I don't want to use a well-supported and widely used standard API because it might use hardware acceleration under the hood?

I know they keep saying that premature optimization is evil, but I'm not sure premature unoptimization is any better :-)

anyway, here are some links:
