TechCrunch saw a new demonstration of OTOY, a cloud computing application that enables you to play modern games through your web browser, without needing powerful and power-hungry hardware. All the hard work is done on one of OTOY's servers, and the only thing you need to play games is a broadband Internet connection. More info over here.
Let’s run through some of the details quickly: OTOY is 100% browser-based, and works is all modern web browsers. All it requires is a broadband connection, and that will give you 720p (HD) graphics, with no plugins and no downloads. There is also a way to get 1080p graphics, though that’s a bit more intensive, obviously. But they key is that this is all done on OTOY’s servers and transmitted down from the cloud to run on whatever client you want, basically instantaneously.
