As a communications technician within one of the worlds largest telcos, I must add a few points and expound upon points made by several other posters.

Firstly:
1) What is the speed of light, and what is the refraction index of optic fibre
2) What is the conversion speed of light into electrical signal via the use of transistors and optical recievers
3) What is the conversion speed of electrical signal into optical transmission via laser
4) Calculate the best possible scenario in regards to the above figures, for transmission times through a network of packet switching equipment over any large distance

Basically, the ONLY WAY THIS SYSTEM WOULD EVER BE VIABLE FOR GAMERS IS IN A LOCAL CONTEXT.

Until our computers and transmission equipment are capable of instantaneous transmission from A to B (currently a couple of projects btw) this technology is restricted to applications which can safely ignore high latency.

However, all this said, I would absolutely love this technology to be taken further, and applied in a local area hence keeping latency down.

FTW

3d rendering is the hottest topic now. seems every architect, design studio or rendering company favors it.
http://www.lifang3d.com, it is a professional 3d company in china providing high quality works and comparative price for every client. kindly visit it.

Thank westide. Do you have any site for reference that currently using thin client for 3D rendering ?

You can use BOINC (http://boinc.berkeley.edu/) and solicit your own own users. Or your could use Plura (http://www.plur...processing.com/) and they already have a ton of computers you can use.

For BOINC, you don’t pay your users but you have to convince them to join your project. With Plura you pay a tiny amount for each user, about $0.01-$0.02/cpu-hour, but you don’t spend any time looking for people to join your project.

hello everyone…recently our company initiate one of the project for 3D rendering for medical purpose.The requirement for this project is using thin client , that mean required grid computing across the internet. Did anyone know any kind of reference or any company that can help me on this ?

Beware.. this is quite alot of bullshit from such big players. Consider this: latency to your _average_ connection is between 100-200ms, play on a local ISP you might get down to 20-40ms. But these guys are talking about joining a ‘cloud’. They could be anywhere. The reality is, that 100-200ms is something that wont disappear without _infrastructure_ changes. You can claim all sorts of crap about realtime interactive movies, but if you dont have the infrastructure to do it (ie network) then its all just smoke and mirrors people.

I dont see a seismic change in network infratructure occurring across a large scale anytime soon.. so dont expect this to work either.

“Try this, take a high resolution image (above 1280×1024) and email it to your friend…how long does it take to send the email? Or even FTP it somewhere….”

1)The DOWNLOAD Speed is way faster than UPLOAD speed, example , Download speed 6 to 8 megs/Sec , upload 500Kilobytes/sec.
2) Good Image compression example JPG vs BMP

“what happens when a new game or DirectX version comes out? ”

1)Well is better for a Game Dev. Company to update a few Servers than 1,000s of Client Computers.
2)The reason why they make so many fixes and Patches is to satisfy the needs of many different Types of PCs (Drivers, OS, Hardware)
