RealityServer is a server platform product specifically designed for professional application developers to integrate 3D content and enterprise applications.

Feature
|
Benefit
|
|
Client Independence
|
The storing and processing of 3D content is done entirely on the server, liberating the client from needing additional storage, memory, CPU, or GPU power.
|
|
Mobility
|
Handheld devices can manipulate the same massive datasets as workstations, bandwidth and distance being equal.
|
|
Scalable Applications
|
Server resources scale economically to meet the
data size, performance and image quality needs of applications.
Data size is limited only by server memory, as a native 64-bit architecture, extensive multithreading, and efficient process distribution efficiently handle scenes of virtually any size.
|
|
Scalable Access
|
Server-side session management allows users to begin where they left off when changing client locations, share scene changes and comments with other users, or engage in collaborative sessions to experience what others see.
|
|
Asset Re-Use
|
3D content and applications can be reused directly from the design or manufacturing process and PLM databases.
|
|
Security
|
Server-side storage of 3D content inherently protects 3D intellectual property.
Clients receive only bitmap representations of the 3D content they are interacting with.
|
|
Visual Quality
|
Full image quality spectrum and multiple rendering options.
|
|
Full Extensibility
|
Developers can enhance and extend the system at every level through a comprehensive extensible environment.
