Thin client applications often make minimal use of hardware available at the client side. This article focuses on the problem of creating portable thin client application for virtual reality applications, which allows use of client graphics hardware to aid rendering process. Some already available potential solutions are presented and entirely new protocol for client-server communication is proposed to allow fast and reliable transmission of rendering commands and user feedback between client and server.
