Server-Side Rendering, as in OnLive

Looking to the future, catch Dusan's predictions.


Dusan Writer’s Metaverse Server-Side Rendering and a Web-Based World:
"- You don’t need a high-powered machine to access 3D immersive content. OnLive, for example, allows you to play console games such as Assasin’s Creed without a download, and without the need for a high-end graphics card.
- There is no client to download.
The heavy-lifting of ‘rezzing’ the world, in other words, is done in the ‘cloud’ and you can still navigate through the environment as if you were accessing it through a client."

I have a (free) subscription to OnLive.  It works well, as far as I can tell.  I have not found any game I want to run.  But it looks like it the server side rendering works well.  I figure that the big entertainment business in SL will work fine and benefit a lot when server-side rendering is available.


Yes, when.  OnLive has demonstrated the technology, so it is just a matter of time.
