 A VBO is an OpenGL feature that provides methods for uploading
 vertex data (position, normal vector, color, etc.) to the graphics card.
 VBOs offer substantial performance gains because the data resides
 in the graphics memory rather than the system memory and so it
 can be rendered directly by GPU.
