Remote Graphics Software is a client-server software solution developed by HP, to enable remote access to high-performance workstations from a thin-client machine. This access includes control of the graphics hardware on the server, enabling manipulation of large, complex 3D models. Remote USB and sound are also supported.
There are two components to the software, purchased separately - the server (known as the 'sender' in HP parlance) and the client (or 'receiver', as HP calls it). There are also 2 editions: the PC edition, which is limited to 2 processors and certain screen resolutions, and the workstation edition which does not have these limitations.
The software supports OpenGL and Microsoft Direct3D (up to version 9) graphics libraries.
A trial version is available on the site, which can be downloaded upon registration.
