ASSOCIATION NEWS

Could Mixed Reality be the Future of Remote Work and Play?

By TIFCA News

Thomas Poppelgaard, CEO of Poppelgaard and Vice-President in TIFCA’s Board of Directors, showcased his latest demonstration of what the future of remote work and play could look like with mixed reality technologies.

In this case, Thomas ran a cloud-streamed version of Fortnite using Xbox Cloud Gaming alongside a Microsoft Windows 365 Cloud PC running through an HTML5 browser. Why was this so unique?

  1. Both the experiences were being run simultaneously through the eyes of a Hololens 2 headset
  2. The physical keyboard and mouse peripherals were both visible and usable
  3. 100% of the experiences were cloud streamed through a 20mbit connection with 60ms latency.

Thomas will be speaking at the next Remote Work and Play Forum meeting. Contact us to learn more!

TIFCA Announces the Triparity Initiative

By TIFCA News

The Triparity Initiative

It’s expected that the future of remote work and play is going to need increasing amounts of compute and network bandwidth. TIFCA believes there are opportunities for the CORA (Create Once Reach All) ecosystem to enhance the cost effectiveness, user experience, and scalability of this future.

TIFCA is working on a solution called The Triparity Initiative: a framework that could help optimize our industry’s computing resources through the combined powers of client, cloud, and network. At the International Future Computing Summit, Thorsten Stremlau, Systems Principal Architect and Distinguished Engineer, CISSP at Nvidia, gave a high level view of how Triparity could work and welcomes more industry to join TIFCA.
