Nvidia and mental images introduced today the NvidiaRealityServer platform for cloud computing, a powerful combination of GPUs and software that streams interactive, photorealistic 3D applications to any web connected PC, laptop, netbook and smart phone. NvidiaRealityServer – the culmination of nearly 40 collective years of hardware and software engineering by NVIDIA and mental images – enables developers to create a new generation of consumer and enterprise 3D web applications, all with remarkable levels of photorealism. The NVIDIA RealityServer platform is comprised of an Nvidia Tesla RS GPU-based server running RealityServer software from mental images.
RealityServer software utilizes mental images iray technology, the world’s first physically correct ray-tracing renderer that employs the massively parallel Cuda architecture of Nvidia GPUs to create stunningly accurate photorealistic images by simulating the physics of light in its interaction with matter.
