THE MONKEYWAY LEXICON: FROM N TO Z

N
Nvidia
The industry that’s been the most prolific when it comes to using new technologies like real-time 3D streaming.

Okanda
The name of our gorilla godchild at the Munich Zoo whom we sponsor and support the species that’s in critical danger.

P
Pixel Streaming
Take a 3D application based on Unreal Engine and running on the cloud. Interacting with it with minimum latency is called Pixel Streaming. What differs from a classic video game is that the 3D application is not running on your own computer and can be used at the same time by different people.

Q
Question
If it’s related to the web 3.0 and 3D streaming, we can answer all of them. Contact us!

R
Real-time 3D streaming
Interacting with cloud running 3D applications without having to download them and with the lowest latency possible.

S
SAAS
Software As A Service. Software that you kind of rent instead of buy.

Streaming
Sending or receiving data (most likely video flow) over the internet and being able to use it without having to download or upload the complete application or file.

T
Terrace
We claim that we have the best terrace in the IT business, at least in Munich. 300 square meters and a 360 view over Munich with a barbecue and a couple beehives.

Our rooftop terrace is a paradise for bees.
U
Unity, Unreal Engine
These two are the most famous and powerful software tools in the business for 3D applications (not only video games anymore).

V
Virtual Instances
Imagine a computer in the cloud that can be switched on and off by anyone when using a certain application. Basically, VI are all the cloud-based computers available for the same application use.

W
Web 3.0
After the success of the first versions of the web, AKA The Internet, this “third” one is aimed to be a more immersive one, based on the new technologies like AI or real-time 3D streaming for example.

WebGL
The ancestor of real-time 3D streaming. Still efficient for specific cases but very limited.

X
X-Bow
As you might not know, KTM makes cars too and they’re called X-Bow (pronounce “cross bow”) since 2008. Gorilla Streaming will stream the X-Bow GT-XR 23 configurator to you by clicking HERE.
The X-Bow Real-time 3D configurator.

Y
YouTube
The most famous video streaming provider in the world. Doesn’t work with interactive 3D applications, though.

Z
Zoo
Each year, we donate to the Zoo of Munich (Hellabrunn Tierpark) to help save the Brown Face Spider Monkeys and the Western Lowland Gorillas that both are endangered species. After all, we’re apes too.
