Nvidia's RealityServer to Offer Ubiquitous 3D Images
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."
Aren't Photo-Realistic Images pretty big in size? If I want to get 30 Frames per second, how am I ever going to push 30 Photorealistic Frames through the internet - I can hardly get 5 Mb/s from my ISP.
For me, I just hate the marketing cocksuckers who come up with these terms. Some asshole saw too many Visio diagrams with a big cloud in the middle representing the intervening networks and decided that there are computers out there that will magically do what they want. Every time I hear the term 'cloud' I think 'botnet'. Because essentially, that's the only thing extant that resembles what they are proposing.

Shhhhh! You'll ruin the scam (of convincing uninformed people that an old idea is a new idea by renaming it).
Thin client -> fat client -> thin client -> fat client. *yawn*
Every time, this happens; things move away from the client for "performance" and "flexibility" and "scalability" reasons and then everyone realises it's a pain because of the lack of control or reliability and by that point the client hardware's moved on to the point where it can do the job better anyway so everyone moves back to it.
