But like all systems, you can have millions, but not if they all show up at the same place and time. But here the claim is more interesting. What they are saying, I think, is that you can have many times more avatars showing up in the same place and time than your client could render, which is a heck of a lot more than most client/server systems can handle. 10k people in the same spot would not be fun for a client to render, but even if it is just a few hundred, it's better than we see in a lot of current offerings. And if I can make any number of "outbacks" just the way I want them and have any number of people experience them without having to pay some kind of hosting fee, hell yeah! Bring it on!

It remains to be seen about the company. I gather the folks at <a href="http://nicta.com.au/" rel="nofollow">NICTA are behind this. NICTA is well funded and packed to the gills with smart people. It's not three people in a basement cobbling together algorithms but a well funded research institute. This is serious technology. It remains to be seen about the company.
