Demand for 3D visualization is increasing in mobile devices as users have come to expect more realistic immersive experiences. However, limited networking and computing resources on mobile devices remain challenges. A solution is to have a proxy-based framework that offloads the burden of rendering computation from mobile devices to more powerful servers. We present the implementation of a framework for parallel remote rendering using commodity Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in the proxy servers. Experiments show that this framework substantially improves the performance of rendering computation of 3D video.
