The Open3D team and the Open Source Vision Foundation are excited to announce the 0.6.0 release of the Open3D library. In this release, we focused our efforts on improving the quality of Open3D documentation and paving the way for upcoming GPU support.
Documentation is a critical aspect of any software project, but it becomes especially critical in open-source projects. This is one of the main ways we engage with the community. For this reason, we improved the internal infrastructure to automatically generate documentation in a new format, which makes the Python API more readable and easy to understand. Please take a look at Open3D docs.
The team has also been working on bringing multi-GPU support to Open3D. We will start rolling this out in upcoming releases. In the meantime, feedback and suggestions are welcomed. Please check our GPU integration branch here.
This release also includes new data types that serve as the foundation for new meshing algorithms that will be rolled out in our next release.

Enjoy!
The Open3D team
