realityserver

Pushing the limits of the original date of “Late November”, NVidia & Mental Ray have released the RealityServer3 platform.  The free developer edition and documents are available online, along with some user testimonials:

“RealityServer could revolutionize marketing and sales via the web by enabling the world to interact with virtual products in a more realistic and unconstrained way. Our interactive 3D planner, which uses RealityServer, is what attracts customers to mydeco, and the immersive, real-life experience that RealityServer delivers is what will keep them engaged.”

-David Kelly

CEO of mydeco.com, a U.K.-based designer furnishing site.

No word on pricing unfortunately, but documents get very in-depth on how to use RealityServer with several systems like JavaScript, C++, and more,  including some huge system diagrams like this:
