VNC that supports opengl/d3d

[Modelworks]

I need vnc software that can display the output of a remote pc that is displaying d3d or opengl content to a pc that does not support these API . Something like a streaming application but with mouse/keyboard integration. The purpose is to allow touchscreen and tablet displays to interact with the host running software that requires high end hardware the tablets cannot support. I can work now with 2d apps just fine, but 3d is the problem.

If it isn't a full program but just a software API that would be fine too. I need to get something working and prefer to not start from scratch programming something.

What kind of performance do you need? Several VNC apps (TightVNC, RealVNC, TeamViewer) sorta support D3D/opengl, albiet at a slideshow rate. If it's iOS centric on the tablets, then there's a bit of VNC-esque software that has some pretty damn good performance. I can't remember the name off-hand (have it on my iPad, but that's at home), but they have a video of one of the devs playing WoW in realtime with a fully responsive display. I don't *think* it's running VNC protocol, however, at least not for the display.

You might also be able to look into Citrix or VMWare virtualized desktops. I'm not sure what their support is on Android and iOS, but I know Citrix and XenApp supports DirectX server acceleration and delivery.

Someone else can probably elaborate with more clarity than my wall of mights. Most of experience is with a computing over IP via dedicated hardware (ie: Clearcube setups).
