Juego en la nube: un estado del arte
Resumen
Los videojuegos se han convertido en un mercado que se ha expandido con rapidez, sin embargo para ejecutar los videojuegos actuales, se requiere de un computador o consola de última generación, donde el primero, aunque tiene un mejor desempeño gráfico, requiere actualizaciones de hardware que conllevan a costos mayores. Lo anterior puede evitarse con la implementación de nubes basadas en videojuegos, donde los servidores brindan el poder de procesamiento central y gráfico principalmente a los aplicativos con altos requerimientos, permitiendo que todo usuario con conexión a internet pueda ejecutar en cualquier tipo de dispositivo videojuegos exigentes gráficamente de forma remota, sin la necesidad de preocuparse por los requisitos de hardware de éstos. Este paradigma se conoce como juego en la nube. En este paradigma existen diversas plataformas y servicios, en su mayoría soluciones privadas, creadas para minimizar la latencia que experimenta el usuario final, aunque con poca documentación de ellos. Este artículo presenta un estado del arte del juego en la nube, con el fin de aportar a la documentación y presentar campos de investigación en esta tecnología.
