The subject matter concerns an application that allows users to stream games from a personal computer to Apple mobile devices. This capability enables interactive entertainment on iPhones and iPads by leveraging local network connectivity and processing power from a separate gaming system. For example, a user can play a graphically demanding PC game on their iPad while located elsewhere in their home, provided both devices are connected to the same network.
This technology provides portability and accessibility, liberating gaming experiences from stationary desktop setups. Its value lies in extending the usability of existing gaming infrastructure, allowing consumers to maximize their hardware investments. The underlying protocol has evolved from earlier remote desktop and game streaming solutions, adapting to the specific requirements of mobile platforms and network conditions.
