Remote Game Streaming
is live, offering technology to allow users to play games on remote Windows or
Linux PCs streamed from their home PCs.
Develop reports on a demonstration given by Intel of this during the keynote
at Computex, which can be viewed via
this webcast.
Word is this even supports demanding applications like Crysis and World of
Warcraft: Streaming software by StreamMyGame that enables the latest
games and software applications to be used remotely, was publicly demonstrated
for the first time today during the opening keynote address by an Intel
Corporation executive at one of the world's largest technology trade shows.
Online streaming of video and audio has radically changed the broadcast and
mobile industries re-inventing the way consumers purchase and watch media.
StreamMyGame takes this evolution one step further.
http://www.streammygame.com/ is a
community website that incorporates new streaming software that enables members
to play games and use applications when they are away from their PC. The PC
game's video and audio is captured in real-time and sent over the Internet to a
remote device. The keyboard input at the remote device is sent back to the PC
and used to control the game.
"We are entering a new mobile age where everything from video, audio, software
applications and games can be accessed and played on the move" said Richard
Faria, StreamMyGame's CEO. "Our members can play games installed on their home
PCs whenever and wherever they choose," he said.
During the speech given by Intel Executive Vice President Sean Maloney, Intel
demonstrated how a powerful Intel processor-based desktop PC hosting an intense
3-D game could be streamed and played remotely on a mobile device connected to
the Internet wirelessly without compromising the game-play experience. The
demonstration was made possible by the combination of powerful microprocessors
and a fast WiMAX wireless broadband network.
"The computer industry is going through a historic transition to mobile
computing," said Tim Sweeney, director, mobile WiMAX applications lab, Intel.
"WiMAX wireless networks will help people get connected and offer remote access
to their home applications and games, further improving their mobile
experience."
StreamMyGame is compatible with all Windows games from WoW to Crysis and members
can stream to both Windows and Linux including Ubuntu, Fedora and Xandros making
it the ideal complement for Intel powered MIDs, UMPCs, Atoms, EeePC and
Ebox.
