OTOY Rendering Engine

This video looks amazing, it’s a new 3d environment that is top secret. Apparently the video was not meant to be released for the public but it’s so god-awful awesome it needs to be shared. The concept: this virtual world is rendered in the cloud and streamed to your browser.

As raytracing becomes more and more common I’m starting to get a lot of ideas for including 3d worlds in my interactive work - not to mention the possibilities of integrating data from the web into virtual environments.
