The main features of the library are accelerated using SSE3 instructions. librealsense communicates with cameras directly via UVC and USB without using RealSense SDK runtimes. Most of the code is platform-independent, but there is a small layer of abstraction based on the UVC components of the OS. The library has two external dependencies: GLFW3 (on all platforms) and libusb-1.0 (Mac / Linux),
