“Polystream is the platform that releases the possibility of unlimited real-time interactive 3D experiences, challenging how the world delivers immediacy, immersion, and on-demand from the cloud. As we move from hyper-converged to composable infrastructure, Polystream is ready to deliver applications at a scale never imagined before. We believe the next era in computing will change how we all can live, learn, work and play in 3D, and believing in their vision for the next era, we have joined TIFCA to help build the ecosystem to make this happen.” – Bruce Grove, CEO & Co-Founder of Polystream

The International Future Computing Association is proud to welcome Polystream to its growing list of industry leading member companies. Their platform leverages proprietary Command Streaming technology which moves graphics processing to a user’s own device and in so doing, makes the benefits of cloud gaming and similar applications more scalable.

Congratulations to Adshir for being featured by Venturebeat.  Adshir makes ray-tracing technology that works on countless platforms including mobile devices – something thought to be impossible until now.  Dr. Bakalash was also interviewed by Meant to be Seen at CES 2020 and was a key speaker at 2019’s inaugural International Future Computing Summit.

Computing is heading towards a world of any place, any time, and any device user experiences made possible by seamless client-cloud infrastructure and a write-once reach-many device ecosystem for application and content creators alike.

TIFCA has been laying down the groundwork through conferences (e.g. The International Future Computing Summit), lead-up meetings, data collection, vision documents, and more. Our latest step is the Client to Cloud portal which spells out why this next era of computing is so important, why organizations should join the revolution, and some of what the industry told us in our recent year-end ecosystem survey.  Valuable support materials are included as well!

At the International Future Computing Summit, Eli Lubitch, President of Beamr, talked about the ever increasing importance of video compression technologies to cloud computing and cloud-based services (e.g. cloud gaming).  During Eli’s session, he showcased approaches that increase video encoding software performance by a factor of two and also reduces the bitrate of all cloud gaming and immersive entertainment streams by as much as 50%.

Ray tracing adds a great deal of lighting realism to computer graphics, but it comes at a very high processing cost that is only now becoming available in the consumer markets on the most powerful PC machines.

Adshir has developed another way to do it in a way that requires far less horsepower and works on far more devices.  Check out this International Future Computing Summit presentation and ray tracing demo by Dr. Reuven Bakalash, CEO of Adshir.
