Otoy scores important deals for its server gaming technology | GamesBeat | Games | by Dean Takahashi
Summary
Jules Urbach (pictured), chief executive of Los Angeles-based Otoy, said today that his company is now allied with both Nvidia and Intel in addition to its previous alliance with Advanced Micro Devices. The alliances will help the company spread its video-compression technology, which allows users to play high-end games stored on faraway servers as if they were installed on client machines. Urbach said that customers requested that Otoy add support for Nvidia’s CUDA programming environment, which allows non-graphics applications to exploit graphics hardware. He also started LightStage, a facial-capture company that helped map human faces so they could be easily animated in movies such as Brad Pitt vehicle The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. One of Otoy’s investors is George Gilder, the tech pundit who advocated the onset of the Telecosm, a world awash in bandwidth, in the days before the last bubble.
