MADRID, Aug 24 (Portaltic / EP) -.

Microsoft DeLorean is a project of research that seeks to improve the performance of cloud gaming, the future of the sector. Microsoft’s idea is to design a system that reduces the maximum latency in those games, so the experience best and no cuts.

The implementation of cloud gaming seems to be the future of the industry. The ability to enjoy titles without a physical console open great possibilities for industry because users would not be limited by hardware and can access content from anywhere. Sony has taken significant steps in this direction and its platform PlayStation Now is a reality.

Microsoft is also working on this technology and its researchers are focused on developing a system that improves the quality of the games cloud. Specifically, it seeks to eliminate latency, short delays of signal transmission that alter proper reception. Users accustomed to playing online will be familiar with this annoying problem, which causes sometimes games stand for a short period of time and move without the supervision of players.

To combat latency researchers of Microsoft have developed DeLorean. This is a project that would be evidence that would combat latency issues. To do this, practically DeLorean travels to the future as it moves forward to the events of the game to be forewarned and facilitate their transmission before it occurs. Basically DeLorean would be an intelligent system able to anticipate the events to stay one step ahead of the transmit and get not having stoppages.

Researchers at Microsoft have shared a first description of DeLorean, which has successfully tested in games like Doom 3 or Fable 3 The system is able to cover 250 milliseconds latency and project managers looking to be even more effective.

The appearance of DeLorean Microsoft confirms interest Games in the cloud. The company could bet to increase its presence in this field and would like to have more arguments Xbox One to compete with PS4. Let’s wait to see where Microsoft is able to reach with DeLorean and gaming technology of the future
