A toolkit for creating powerful cloud-based 3D experiences that stream to traditionally out of reach low-powered devices.
Problem: The world is becoming increasingly mobile, but the demand for high-fidelity 3D content is only growing. We needed a scalable approach to make this sort of content available on low-powered, low-bandwidth devices.
The 3DStreamingToolkit project’s purpose is to provide an approach for developing 3D server applications that stream frames in real-time to other devices over the network. Specifically:
- A server-side C++ plugin and samples for remotely rendering and streaming 3D scenes
- Cross-platform client-side samples for receiving streamed 3D scenes, including HoloLens
- Cloud infrastructure architecture to allow large-scale deployment
- Zero latency video compression using NvPipe/NVEncode
- WebRTC extensions for 3D content and input
