Nvidia's RealityServer to Offer Ubiquitous 3D Images

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on Friday November 13, 2009 @09:47AM from the more-rain-from-the-cloud dept.

WesternActor writes "ExtremeTech has an interview with a couple of the folks behind Nvidia's new RealityServer platform, which purports to make photorealistic 3D images available to anyone on any computing platform, even things like smartphones. The idea is that all the rendering happens 'in the cloud,' which allows for a much wider distribution of high-quality images. RealityServer isn't released until November 30, but it looks like it could be interesting. The article has photos and a video that show it in action."

Does it serve up glasses too? by Tiger4 · 2009-11-13 10:09 · Score: 0, Flamebait

3D images need three 3D glasses and rendering too don't they? Or is this just a photorealistic 2D image of a solid model? Or something else altogether? And high quality images are usually pretty large files. Does it render extra bandwidth to carry the file across to my smart phone?
