OTOY, delivering real-time “cinematic quality”

Oh god, it’s Siggraph time, lots of new CGI things are coming up… and now I thing that the end of pure reality in TV and movies is coming really, really soon.

OTOY, “The 3D engine that renders graphics in the cloud”

Unlike AMD’s Cinema 2.0, the OTOY technology allows weak computers and mobile phones to render a very detailed and realistic 3D scenes by sending the data to a server and receiving the rendered result.

    Hei thats an interesting idea, i just woder how is that technicaly possible, it meens device has to send real time input about cameras position and so on, server has to render it and send / stream big “video” file back to client??? and thats faster then rendering in local mashine?
    thats interesting… ii wonder how it works.

    Exactly! I was wondering the same thing… and I think its not possible to do this nowadays, mainly because the huge amount of data and response times…
