A homogeneous coordinate system is a coordinate system in which there is an extra dimension, used most commonly in computer science to specify whether the given coordinates represent a vector (if the last coordinate is zero) or a point (if the last coordinate is non-zero). A homogeneous coordinate system is used by OpenGL for representing position.
