"LivePlace have created a photo-realistic virtual world, CitySpace. Its rendering engine is built using OTOY and all computing is done in ‘the cloud’. It is claimed that the application will run on ANY browser on ANY spec device (mobiles included) with a plugin."
"What is really great about this online world is that the environment it features can be accessed via a conventional browser and is fully rendered server-side, allowing relatively weak devices such as phones and PDAs to load the game without problems. The video you saw above was streamed on Treo 700 at 240kbps."

While the visuals from this are absolutely stunning, I think it has a lot of potential to become boring, as any excessively realistic game does. (Some of us use movies and video games as opportunities to get _out_ of the real world, not into a quasi-identical copy of it.)

it was awesome to poke a joke at Patricia, asking her if she could name the city in that video footage in the first few seconds of the video. If only you could've seen her face when she finally realized it was all a 3d rendering : )

Aye, it's impressive. This cityspace video was previously added a few days back by Arlind under a different title. Link after the jump:
