If you would like to read the full press release, please click the on the source link at the bottom of this entry.

NVIDIA, inventor of the graphics processing unit (GPU), and mental images, world leader in rendering technologies, introduced today the NVIDIA RealityServer platform for cloud computing, a powerful combination of GPUs and software that streams interactive, photo-realistic 3D applications to any web connected PC, laptop, netbook and smart phone.

NVIDIA RealityServer - the culmination of nearly 40 collective years of hardware and software engineering by NVIDIA and mental images - enables developers to create a new generation of consumer and enterprise 3D web applications, all with remarkable levels of photo-realism.

Automobile product engineering teams will be able to securely share and visualize complex 3D models of cars under different lighting and environmental conditions.
Architects and their clients will be able to review sophisticated architectural models, rendered in different settings, including day or night.
Online shoppers will be able to interactively design home interiors, rearrange furniture, and view how fabrics will drape, all with perfectly accurate lighting.
The NVIDIA RealityServer platform is comprised of an NVIDIA Tesla RS GPU-based server running RealityServer software from mental images. While photorealistic imagery has traditionally taken hours or days to create, this first-of-its-kind, integrated solution streams images of photorealistic scenes at rates approaching an interactive gaming experience.

"This is one giant leap closer to the goal of real-time photo-realistic visual computing for the masses," said Dan Vivoli, senior vice president, NVIDIA. "mental images fully embraced the concept of GPU co-processing to enable Interactive photo-realism anywhere, any time - something that was science fiction just yesterday."

well, I think they started using the term "GPU", with the GF256.
marketing talk, needs to be taken for what it is.
