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."

How big is your screen?
That's the real question here. "Photorealistic" (a meaningless term in the context of transferring image data) on a smartphone screen is a whole lot smaller than on my full 1920x1280 desktop monitor.
"Photorealistic" will only ever be as high resolution as the screen you view it on.
