METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REMOTE VISUALIZATION OF A GRAPHICS APPLICATION

摘要

A method and system for remote visualization of a graphics application are provided. The system includes a local computer system (110) with a first type of operating system with an OpenGL based graphics application (111) executing on the local computer system (110). One or more remote computer systems (120, 151-154) are provided for remote display of the graphics application (111), each with operating systems which may be of a different type from the first type of operating system. Means are provided for translating operating system specific OpenGL interface (113, 126) operations into and from operating system independent operations for transmitting between the local computer system (110) and the one or more remote computer systems (120, 151-154). This includes encoding (115) operations ofa first OpenGL interface (113) for a first type of operating system as operating system independent operations; transmitting the operating system independent operations via a network connection (130); and decoding (122) the operating system independent operations into operations of a second OpenGL interface (126) for a second type of operating system, wherein the first and second types of operating system may be different.
