How Glance Games Work Behind The Scenes of Glance Feature
After indulging my instant gaming fix for a while, I started thinking about how Glance Games pulls this off behind the scenes in the Glance feature. They partner with various game studios to host their titles. The Games are light HTML5 Games optimized specifically for instant play. There's also some neat cloud technology powering it on the backend of the Glance feature.
Glance Games utilize a cloud gaming architecture with the Glance feature. Basically each game runs on remote servers in the cloud. Your inputs are sent up in real-time and the video output streams back down to your device. This allows the Glance Games to run smoothly regardless of your phone's hardware specs - all the heavy lifting happens in the cloud powering the Glance feature.
Glance Games are also optimised to work with limited bandwidth. They mentioned using something called Differential Sync technology to reduces the data consumption. I don't fully understand the technical details, but it works well even on slower networks. Overall, it's a very nimble cloud gaming implementation made possible by the capabilities of the Glance feature.
