Abstract

Various kinds of tile-based ultra-high resolution display devices have been developed by, for example, constructing display walls using many commodity LCD displays. To represent 3D applications like computer games on these devices, one has to develop 3D applications or develop particular APIs only for representing on these devices. If one can develop a distributed rendering system using legacy 3D APIs such as OpenGL and Direct3D by extending a remote rendering system, commercial computer games can be represented on such display devices without modifying their source codes. The purpose of the paper is to propose a new Dired3D-based distribute rendering system by extending a Direct3D-based remote rendering system and to show its feasibility technically by appling it to a sample Direct3D application and performing a few experimentations.

다수의 디스플레이 장치를 타일 형태로 구성하는 타일 기반 대규모 디스플레이 장치에 컴퓨터 게임과 같은 3D 어플리케이션을 표현하기 위해서는 일반적으로 이러한 디스플레이 장치에 적절한 어플리케이션을 별도로 개발하거나 이를 목적으로 특별히 개발된 API를 사용해야 한다. OpenGL, Direct3D 등의 레가시 3D API 기반의 원격 렌더링 기술을 확장하여 원격 분할 렌더링 시스템의 구현한다면 추가적인 개발 없이 타일 기반 대규모 디스플레이 장치에 3D 게임을 표현할 수 있다. 본 논문은 기 구현된 Direct3D 기반 원격 렌더링 시스템을 확장하여 원격 분할 렌더링 시스템을 구현한다. 이러한 원격 렌더링 시스템을 샘플 Direct3D 어플리케이션에 적용하여 몇가지 실험을 실시함으로써 기술적 실현 가능성을 확인한다.
