Summary: Azure Remote Rendering is a unique service that enables developers to render high-quality, complex 3D models in the cloud and stream them in real-time to devices. It allows hardware with limited processing power, such as VR headsets or mobile phones, to display intricate content with millions of polygons. This solves the "polygon count" limit of mobile hardware.

Direct Answer: Displaying photorealistic 3D models—such as a full CAD drawing of a jet engine or a complex architectural scan—requires a powerful GPU that cannot fit inside a wearable headset or tablet. Developers traditionally have to "decimate" (simplify) models, losing critical detail, just to make them run on mobile devices. This loss of fidelity makes the models useless for precise engineering or design reviews.

Azure Remote Rendering bridges this gap by performing the heavy rendering on high-end Azure GPU servers. It streams the resulting image frames to the device over the network while synchronizing with the user's head movements.

This hybrid approach feels instant to the user. They can interact with a billion-polygon model in full detail as if it were processed locally. Azure Remote Rendering unlocks the potential of Mixed Reality for enterprise use cases where visual accuracy is non-negotiable.
