OTOY Graphics Rendered in the Browser

[Excalibur0551]

I think the address is w w w(dot)otoy(dot)com(forwardslas­h)cityspace...whenever I enter it, the title "CitySpace" comes up but the page times out so it doesn't load :C

[AGRcactus]

this video has a dumb name. OTOY is rendered on the server not the browser.

Is anyone pondering what I'm pondering?

How could this technology be used to make effective, dirt cheap, robotics? I bet, you could make an entertainment robot sort of like Sony's Qrio that sells for less than $200.00 using this "Fusion Render Cloud " to do all the hard stuff.

Hmm..

Just a thought.

[yung23567]

is this project dead or something ?

you were the last to post

[BIGBOY2TON]

@yung23567

I think it is....

I see thanks for response

I can understand that several users may be using a server but is that to say there is enough power to both generate this stuff visually and run all the user's program code within one OS - i really have no idea about how fast the very fastest Super computers can go but that seems quite incredible if it's handled this way

Is it a case of cpu power being afforded by simply bolting more and more cpu together or are super C's altogether different ie intergrated?

Wont all of these servers take up a lot of extra room that would normally be taken up inside a home?

Seems a reasonable question to ask i think unless i'm just not understanding the technology

"Wont all of these servers take up a lot of extra room that would normally be taken up inside a home?"

Its not about size, its about economy - when you buy a GPu how much does it cost and how much do you actually use it (even when gaming you not always maxing it)

How much can a server farm bulk buy them for and how much load can they put on them 24/7.

Which is cheaper?

[firebark]

this would be even more awsome with 3d googles

[Ascii89]

how does this thing compare with onlive? I noticed slight lag and image distortion in this demo, and honestly i dont think the guys at OTOY have achieved the same technological milestones needed for such a service to live on.

[googleslocik]

you are a fucking idiot

[NPSF3000]

"how does this thing compare with onlive?"

I Don't know about the software, but OTOY have a 1 petaflop AMD/ATI supercomputer behind them... So they do have some backing.

@NPSF3000 haha, i lol'd at petaflop XD

[cheezecake2000]

@NPSF3000 lol "petaflop"

I have a Jewelry business that I want to market in a virtual world, I hope that this so called Photoreaslistic rendering can render the fine detail of jewelry, so that I can exhibit it in realtime to my clients

[evilskin]

Word.

[Gco808]

I'll be excited when Realtime Metropolis Light Transport is used.......

This is uses the outdated "raytracing" algorithm, which is FAR from being physically-accurate lighting, the realism drops really fast in indirect lighting conditions such as in interiors, It would really help if he could provide us with high-res screenshots of indirect enivronments with completely diffuse single color surfaces to analyze the true power of this so-called optimized raytracer he is going to use.

so its just random digital art?

[Zaharkl]

no its game that alse you need is a internet conection

[xcaninox]

hey uh, anyone knows which keyboard he were using there?

[IrZeCareBear]

Logitech G11? Hard to see :p

[xcaninox]

i don't think so, but i uh, this days i was wanting to buy a new keyboard, but i didn't found one which was good for me. And this one, i just love it.

[LCNitro]

The Matrix is comming...

[evilskin]

its already here..

[68040E]

the future

[bazkie]

should be laggy with current bandwidth, not very useful for realtime gaming stuff.

[shletten]

Wonderful idea!

[funnyclips1994]

awesome clip this shows the true power!! Thanks
